"The Italian style is excellent." That was the text on a black T-shirt once worn by pop diva and provocateur Madonna in the sadly missed 1980s. A male tennis player might take off his jersey (in the sporting sense) these days. Italian Jannik Sinner is better off. Sinner just won the Miami Open after a major breakthrough at the Australian Open. Since 2024, he has won 22 of his 23 games. One of his victims is Novak Djokovic, also in a best-of-five match. Original expressions used by stars or their followers gain popularity as the star rises to fame. These are a few multilingual idioms associated with famous tennis players.

Forza (Jannik Sinner): Let Fabio Fognini handle traditional Italian histrionics. Sinner has a yogic calm in his demeanor. On the other hand, fans are not required to control their feelings. Sinnerheads cheer their boy "Vai Jannik!" (Go Jannik) or "Forza!" (meaning "power" or "come"). Their applause sometimes gets louder because they are Italian. At the 2023 ATP Finals in Turin, signs supporting Sinner appeared, reading "Facci sognare" (let us dream). Let's go (Novak Djokovic): Djokovic is known by the nickname "Nole" and for almost 20 years tennis stadiums have been filled with cries of "Let's go Nole!" The Serb also uses "Hajde!" to motivate himself. The Serbo-Croatian expressions "Hajde" and "Idemo" mean "let's go" and "let's go".

Vamos, which is Spanish for "come on," is how Rafael Nadal's hundreds of gladiator points have been greeted throughout his career. "Vamos Rafa!" signs have become commonplace on stands around the world. Although Nadal rarely says "come on" in English, his second nickname "Vamos" is an apt reflection of his background and personality. Roger Federer's Chum Jetz: Federer continues to lead the Big Three in titles won well into retirement. Yet stats aren't really his legacy. Djokovic has overcome a few of them, while Nadal has overcome some of them.

Federer's main character is an artistic warrior who has created beautiful, spine-chilling heavy artillery - a Rolls Royce amidst a sea of ​​gray battle tanks. The pleasure of seeing him will be even more exciting when he shouts, "Chum jetze!" which is Swiss German for "so come on." Come on, Andy Murray: For winning three majors, two Olympic singles golds and being ranked number one in the world during the Big Three era, the heroic Scot has not received nearly enough credit. With a versatile game and the strength to chase the ball all day long, Murray is among the bravest athletes in the game. Sir Andy's favorite battle cry: "Let's go!" he has a habit of raising the spirits of himself and his fans.
