"I hope that he will apologise one day" - Krajinovic on Tsitsipas' behaviour during Hamburg European Open clash
ATP
Earlier in the week, Filip Krajinovic who will contest the final of the Hamburg European Open later today faced off against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
It was successful for Krajinovic who dumped out the Greek ace who was returning to action after Wimbledon but he wasn't very happy with his conduct which he hopes he apologizes for.
“I don’t think he was acting well today on the court. I don’t know why. I thought he’s a nice guy, but the way he was acting today was, I think, weird,” Krajinovic said.
“We all saw that. He went to toilet [for] 10 minutes [between the second and third sets]. I was having an overhead and he was talking, which is not nice at all.
“I hope that he will apologise one day, but I played my game, I was focused on myself, but I think – I don’t think it’s necessary to do that.
“For sure it’s one of my best wins, and one of the best of my games, I played a lot of good matches that didn’t go my way, but this one went my way, which I’m really happy about.
“I beat [Dominic] Thiem the week before he won US Open [last year], which I played really well. I had a lot of good matches but this one is for sure is special because Tsitsipas has been playing so well on clay and this win means really a lot to me.”
