Jannik Sinner continued his strong run at the Madrid Open with a composed straight-sets victory over Elmer Moller on Sunday.

Sinner was asked about his efforts to improve his Spanish, having shown glimpses of it during his on-court interview.

“So in your on-court interview you spoke a bit of Spanish. How good is your Spanish and how do you learn it?” the reporter asked.

The world No.1 then replied: “No, it’s not good. Not good yet, but my goal is to speak Spanish in one year, so I try to learn. I have an Argentinian physio also, you know, which helps for sure. I understand a little bit but I cannot speak yet.”

The conversation then shifted towards language learning tools, prompting a question about whether he uses any apps to help his progress.

The journalist questioned: “Do you have any apps that help you learn Spanish?”

Sinner admitted he was still exploring options, referencing some well-known platforms in the process.

“No, I still need to find out… Duolingo, there’s also one called Babbel. No? So, let’s see.”

That is when the exchange took an unexpected turn, as the interviewer mistakenly referenced a different app.

“No, Bumble is a dating app,” the reporter answered.
