Tennis: Tiafoe showman angers Sinner “he exaggerated”

Cop26, the protest of

(ANSA) – ROME, OCTOBER 30 – The hugs and the ‘five’ given to the audience in the front rows, a somewhat histrionic way put in place by Frances Tiafoe to win her sympathy and support during the most complicated phases of the semifinal of the tournament in Vienna, then won against Jannik Sinner, despite the latter having found himself in the lead 6-3 5-2. And some waste of time too much for the American, as if to want to break the rhythm of the opponent.

An attitude that the Italian did not like and emphasized after the match. “Frances has exaggerated today – he said – One thing is to make a show, another is if there is no longer respect. He is a character, but there are limits and today in my opinion he has gone a little further. In some moments I was ready, but I had to wait for Tiafoe. Maybe I should have put pressure on the referee to enforce the 25 second rule. ” “Obviously it disturbed me – added Sinner – but it also makes me understand that I have to learn many things. The truth is that if I had served well for one more game I wouldn’t even be here to talk about it.”

“I tried to have fun and lead the audience to my cause. That I could do, just make a few jokes … And then I started playing in an incredible way – commented Tiafoe – The audience really made a difference. Thanks to I started another game, while he got more nervous “. (HANDLE).
