No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Dominic Stricker will write his very own tennis fairytale in New York in 2023 when he advances to the round of 16 of the US Open.
- With a singing rehearsal of Whitney Houston’s “I wanna dance with somebody” he became a viral hit during the tournament and took fans’ hearts by storm.
- Another taste of his singing talent is still a long time coming. But the right time will definitely come.
Since Roger Federer’s resignation, Swiss star moments in tennis have become rare. Belinda Bencic couldn’t plug the hole this year. Stan Wawrinka also rarely outgrew himself. But Dominic Stricker in New York.
Completely surprisingly, the 21-year-old shooting star eliminated world number 7, Stefanos Tsitsipas, in the second round. The two engage in an epic battle over five sets. One would have thought that Stricker was mentally tearing up from tension. But the complete opposite was the case.
“How cool can you actually be?”
When the score is 5:2 in the deciding set, the two opponents change sides. “I want to dance with somebody” by Whitney Houston can be heard from the stadium’s loudspeakers. And the Swiss sings along cheerfully. With this, Stricker delights not only the fans in front of their home screens, but also the whole of New York.
In one fell swoop he sang his way into the hearts of countless new fans. On social media, people ask themselves quite succinctly: “How cool can you actually be?”
When is the next serenade coming?
The tennis fairy tale ends a few days later in the round of 16 against Taylor Fritz. Stricker is left with 284,000 francs in prize money and he makes a big leap into the top 100 in the world rankings. And all of this after the tournament was already hanging by a thread in the qualification.
Since then he has been asked about his singing performance from time to time. However, the Swiss has not yet been tempted to try it again. But: “The right time for this will definitely come.”
