Commentary for Berakhot 60:3
א"ר יוחנן אני ראיתי את רבי ינאי דצלי והדר צלי א"ל רבי ירמיה לר' זירא ודילמא מעיקרא לא כוון דעתיה ולבסוף כוון דעתיה א"ל חזי מאן גברא רבא דקמסהיד עליה:
R. Johanan said, "I noticed that R. Jannai said the Tefillah and then said another Tefillah." R. Jeremiah said to R. Zera, "Perhaps he did not at first direct his heart [to his prayer] and finally did so!" He replied, "See how great a man testifies concerning him."

R. Johanan was a very eminent Rabbi, and he clearly intended to imply that R. Jannai did say the additional Tefillah.
