Stefanos Tsitsipas is out of the US Open yet his prolongued toilet breaks are still a talking point in the world of tennis.
Much has been said and written over the past week about the prolonged toilet breaks Stefanos Tsitsipas has been taking lately. It culminated in the match against Murray when it became one of the most talked about things in tennis. Many players spoke on it and now Tony Nadal offered his opinion on it.
He said:
“I think that no follower of our sport can imagine Roger Federer or Rafael [Nadal], I don’t see why I cannot say it, looking for extra sporting shortcuts to achieve victory. The way he [Tsitsipas] acted was not fair. Rafa or Federer would never do that. Stricter rules should be implemented for the bathroom breaks."
Despite the obvious criticism Nadal also haid praise for Stefanos saying:
“Tsitsipas is undoubtedly a brilliant player and as such we expect him to win without the need for any ruse that he can profit from. Obviously you don’t need them. He is on his way to becoming a great champion, not only because of his victories but because of how he achieves them.”
