The Cincinnati Masters 1000 crowned a new champion this Monday. Jannik Sinner defeated Frances Tiafoe in the grand final 7-6(4) and 6-2 in one hour and 36 minutes of a match he dominated with authority in the second set after suffering badly in the first.
The American was at a high level for most of the match and, as usual, He put on a show on the track… and off it too.
And their show lasted until the trophy presentation, where gave us a unique and unexpected image.
Not short or lazy, the good Frances ‘trolled’ sinner by making a comb when the Italian is about the pose for photographers with the champion trophy.
“I think I have to congratulate Jannik. Congratulations on everything you do… Reaching number 1 in the world and almost undefeated. Keep it up… I wish you the best at the US Open. If we play, don’t beat me in New York” he said shortly in his speech as a finalist.
“I’m very happy to see you play at this level again. I know you had a very difficult year last year. You are making great progress. I wish you luck in New York” was Sinner’s response to his rival’s kind words.
