Jannik Sinner is not happy with Frances Tiafoe’s gestures
In the post-match press conference, Sinner looked quite unhappy due to the actions of Tiafoe. He clearly didn’t like the way the American player celebrated after his victory and felt that he didn’t offer him any sort of respect as an opponent.
“In my opinion Tiafoe, he exaggerated today, he did too much. One thing is when you do the show, the other is when there is no more respect. I don’t know what happened, but today I think it went a little further,” said Sinner in the press-conference. (Translated by Google Translate)
The Italian player believes that Tiafoe crossed the line with his gestures. He mentioned that he exaggerated and did way more than what was required.
