VIDEO: Tsitsipas donates 10.000 to Ukraine charity because Berrettini failed to return a serve

During a doubles clash between Maria Sakkari & Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini & Katarina Zavatska, a wager was made and won.
Tsitsipas pledged to donate 10.000 dollars to the charity event if Maria Sakkari was able to hit an unreturnable serve against Berrettini. The Greek was convinced that Sakkari could do it and he would end up right when Berrettini returned the 2nd serve into the net.
The match umpire John McEnroe oversaw the situation and he saw no wrong in the situation. The first serve was stronger than the 2nd serve but it went wide. The 2nd serve went on Berrettini's backhand, a smart choice, and it proved fruitful.
To be fair, Berrettini did not put too much effort into it for obvious reasons and Tsitsipas celebrated audibly. Check it out below.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
