Many tennis players around the world have a massive fan following. However, no player has fans like Jannik Sinner. The 22-year-old Italian star has one of the most dedicated groups of fans, the Carota boys, who are propelling him forward as he goes into the ATP Finals. They cheer for him loudly, but this time, they have a special surprise for him, which includes messages from various players.

The history of the Carota Boys began in 2019. They named themselves the Carota, or Carrot, Boys because of Sinner’s hair color and because he decided to snack on a carrot in Vienna in 2019 instead of a banana, the choice of the fruit of many players. They have stayed loyal to him since then.

However, their announcement was nothing short of cinematic. They shared a video where they had set the scenario to be a wedding of one of the Carrot boys.

The Swiss Maestro Roger Federer’s influence on furthering the fanbase of tennis is undeniable, and I certainly have the 20-time Grand Slam champion to thank for my foray into the wonderful racket sport. Unsurprisingly, throughout my time at ES, I have specialized in providing in-depth coverage of everything related to the 'Swiss Maestro' and have authored more than 900 articles to date.
