"I can’t breathe this is too much": Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev ending feud amuses fans

The sight of tennis rivals Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas practicing together in preparation for the 2024 Indian Wells tournament elicited mixed reactions from fans, as both men had been embroiled in spats over the years.

With Indian Wells set to kick off this week, it comes as no surprise that players are ramping up their practice sessions as they become acclimatized to the court and playing conditions. However, Medvedev and Tsitsipas have a rocky history, which began in 2018 when Medvedev reprimanded his Greek opponent at the Miami Open over comments made by Tsitsipas following his loss to the Russian. This led to Tsitsipas taking shots at Medvedev following the match, labeling him as "boring", and the duo have had tense encounters ever since.
