"He wants to win 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, otherwise it's not enough for him," Zverev jokes about Sinner's presence at practice
Just after winning his second-round match yesterday against Alexei Popyrin, Jannik Sinner was back at practice, eager to be at his best in all aspects of his game.
Upon arriving at the practice court, he was spotted by Alexander Zverev, who joked about his presence:
"What is this guy doing here? He wants to win 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, otherwise it's not enough for him."
Comments obviously made in a humorous tone, but which many internet users initially took literally.
