As world No. 1 Jannik Sinner power ups his way through the French Open, some fans couldn't resist drawing a connection between the Italian tennis star and another individual who hails from Italy and also dabbles in tennis: Nintendo video game character Luigi. Sinner, who is wearing a green-and-blue Nike kit for the French Open, has been likened to Luigi, who wears a similar color scheme with his green shirt, white gloves and blue overalls.
The memes have naturally taken up residence on the internet during Sinner's matches, as more and more tennis fans have become amused by the resemblance.
