Jannik Sinner and Frances Tiafoe will play again in Vienna on Friday. They used to be on fantastic terms, at least before the controversial semi-final that they played 2 years ago also in Vienna. The Italian sensation was winning that match quite easily when the American player started with all sorts of antiques with rather outrageous, unsportsmanlike behavior. Eventually Tiafoe won 3-6 7-5 6-2. After the match, Jannik Sinner was incredibly upset against Tiafoe. This was one of the episodes when the American player started shouting before Jannik’s serve.
The last match in Vienna was controversial 😬
Tiafoe, when Jannik serves for the match, start trying to deconcentrate Jan by, for example, shouting before the serve and won in 3 set.
At the end of the match Jannik said that Tiafoe “went too far” and “there was no respect”. https://t.co/5elTAjreZo pic.twitter.com/4deD9WvTB0
