Two facts first: John Millman won the first round match against Jack Sock at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells 7: 5, 4: 6 and 6: 3. Fact number two: Millman is considered one of the most sociable guys on the ATP tour. The Australian gets along well with almost everyone and always has a friendly word for the fans. It is all the more astonishing that Millman took the American Sock to his chest again after his success.

The microphones on the court could not capture what exactly was the cause of the heated exchange. But apparently Millman understood something that Sock didn't want to say.

John Millman's next assignment involves a more cautious opponent - in verbal terms. In terms of play, Jannik Sinner is usually just as explosive as Jack Sock.
