Jannik Sinner has had a great match against Denis Shapovalov in the third round of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 2026. However, beyond his good form, the number two in the ATP ranking has shown his most sincere side by admitting that what he likes the least about the circuit are the press conferences and everything related to the media.

In fact, he has hardly answered three questions from the media after his victory, even though it has been a great day for him. Jannik has a more reserved profile, so it's difficult for him to show himself as he truly is to the media, something he has emphasized a couple of times today. However, he did find time to comment on the controversy regarding warnings for time violations and the electronic clock that Carlos Alcaraz has been complaining about in recent weeks.

What he likes the least about the circuit

"What I like the least are the press conferences (smiles), always answering the same questions. It's not that I dislike it. It's part of the job, you know. I like going out, playing, and living. I think we have a wonderful life. We see so many fantastic places... Obviously, by doing it over and over every year, you always go to the same places, so you already know beforehand what kind of places you like a bit more and which ones you like a bit less."

"I think we have a very beautiful, pleasant, and safe life, surrounded by great people. I am in a very fortunate position, as I can also travel with many people, you know? Here I have a couple of friends, and that helps me a lot. So, there really is nothing I don't like. I think it's more of everything in general, you know."

More reserved personality

"Yes, maybe that's the reason. I like playing tennis, and I like spending time with the people I love and also sharing good moments with the team. That's who I am. Press conferences...I'm not the type of person who likes them. I don't want and I don't need to show."

Controversy with time violation warnings

Especially after long rallies or depending on where you ended the point, sometimes you need to run a little bit. But they are the rules, it's the same for everyone. At the moment, there are situations where you go over the time limit by a couple of seconds, which is sometimes normal. In my case, I try to stay within the 25 seconds. I have my rhythm or routine before serving, but sometimes I don't do it because I would exceed it. It is what it is. It's not my decision to change that rule.
