Frances Tiafoe advanced firmly to the round of 16 of Indian Wells 2026 after convincingly defeating Cobolli and spoke about the courts of the Californian tournament and the atmosphere that is increasingly felt in tennis. "I'm glad that the courts are a bit faster this year; I think they suit my game very well. I feel comfortable and am excited to face a great player like Zverev now," said the American. "I really don't like complete silence on the court and then suddenly hearing something. If it were up to me, we would play with constant noise, like in other sports. Lately, I feel we are moving toward that; the atmosphere in tennis is becoming more like the NBA or soccer," he commented.
