Another event and another slight Stefanos Tsitsipas controversy as Fognini and he exchanged words after their match.
Before we get into what happened a little bit of backstory. Stefanos Tsitsipas leads the Tour in code violations regarding coaching as his coach and father Apostolos Tsitsipas tends to cross the line from time to time. While coaching in tennis is widespread and we have many ways players and coaches do it, umpires tend to let it go most of the time unless it's a blatant one.
Fabio Fognini believed Tsitsipas was receiving blatant coaching and he complained to the umpire about it. Not much became of it except the fact that Tsitsipas turned 1st set 2-6 loss into a 2-1 victory in the end. Fognini wasn't happy with it and he proceeded to tell Tsitsipas that on the net with players exchanging a few words. Check it out for yourself below.
