There are tears of sadness, disappointment, and anger. And then there are tears of joy. The fact that these latter tears flowed in streams on Court Philippe-Chatrier early Wednesday evening is thanks to Jannik Sinner. After his outstanding triumph in the quarterfinals of the French Open, he surprised a little girl with a special gift.

But first things first. Jannik Sinner just put on a brilliant show, his opponent Alexander Bublik literally swept off the court and has advanced to the semifinals of the French Open. While the crowd is still cheering him on, he quickly signs a few autographs in the first row of stands behind his bench. He encounters a little girl waiting with shining eyes and a sign ("Jannik Sinner Number 1").
