At the US Open 2021, Stefanos Tsitsipas was eliminated from the third round by 18 -year -old Carlos Alcaraz. However, this is not the reason why the Greek star became the focus of attention.
Right from the first round, Tsitsipas had to encounter the world's number one world and Murray. Both players brought the audience an extremely attractive and dramatic match, extending to set 5. In the end, Tsitsipas came back successfully to win tickets to the second round.
For the first time in his career stopped in the first round of US Open, Murray could not help but disappoint. Not only that, he also proved extremely angry and constantly criticized Tsitsipas “playing dirty” when going to the toilet during too much and long break. This has created a very exciting debate in the felt ball village.
After this incident, Tsitsipas had to receive a lot of criticism, not only from the fans but also from other players. The World Tennis Federation (ATP) is even intending to change the regulation on the break between the matches of the players.
Currently, Tsitsipas is about to enter the competition at Indian Wells Masters 2021 – ATP 1000 tournament on hard fields held in California (USA). In a recent press conference before the tournament, the Greek player once again spoke about this issue. Accordingly, Tsitsipas joked that the dry weather at Indian Wells would help him limit the toilet in the middle of the hour.
“The weather here is very dry. This seems to be better for myself. I will sweat less, thereby going to the toilet less. Everyone will probably reduce me,” Tsitsipas said.
According to the draw results, Tsitsipas fell into a difficult branch at this year's Indian Wells Masters. If passing the second round, the Greek T5ay can meet Fabio Fognini in the third round, Cristian Garin in the fourth round, Felix Auger Aliassime in the quarterfinals and Alexander Zverev in the semi -finals. In the remaining branch, the highest name is Daniil Medvedev – who has just defeated Novak Djokovic at the US Open final.
