"I don't know what happened" says Tsitsipas after win over Fognini
WTAWednesday, 13 October 2021 at 22:15
Stefanos Tsitsipas managed a comeback win over Fabio Fognini that included stellar play by both and a bit of controversy during and after the match.
Fabio Fognini was in control early against Stefanos Tsitsipas leading the Greek 6-2 after the first set but Tsitsipas came back to win while also failing to explain how he did it. It was a weird match throughout with the mercurial Italian displaying moments of brilliance while also playing some very bad tennis not long after that.
In the end he got beaten by Tsitsipas who was confused as to how it really happened saying after the match:
“Great comeback, honestly… I don’t know what happened. I really wanted to get back in the match and it happened somehow. From
[a set and a break down] I just took it point by point and it worked
out pretty well. A good mindset and also a bit of patience helped as
well. I found solutions in those tough moments and really felt like I
had momentum.”
The Italian complained a few times that Tsitsipas was getting coached from the stands but the umpire was not sympathetic towards the Italian who was starting to get annoyed by the shifting momentum as well. After the match, they exchanged some words but nothing serious happened and the players kept it civilised.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024

- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
