Tennis players are extremely serious when they compete but they have a lighter side to them as well. Likewise, Stefanos Tsitsipas recently cracked up his Twitter comments section by responding to a fan in the most hilarious manner!
It all started when a Twitter user posted a rather interesting fact about 30-year-old Vasek Pospisil. “Tennis player Vasek Pospisil drank maple syrup to stay hydrated. Now that’s Canadian!” the user named Sandra Cormier Turnsek wrote.
Now, this was published in September, but Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas somehow dug this up from the internet and posted a reply tweet last night, expressing a desire to prove his nationality during matches in the most unique manner possible!

It sure is amusing to know Tsitsipas wants to have a sip of flavored spirits during his matches, but one of his fans wanted to obtain different information from him. Hence, he asked Tsitsipas about his current training partner.
This was a pretty straightforward question and Stefanos Tsitsipas did deliver an honest answer, but he might have revealed too much with his tweet. Fans got to know the Greek star is training with Karen Khachanov but they got added detail along with the answer.
The Russian bear @karenkhachanov. Mostly because he brings vodka to practice.

Stefanos Tsitsipas was certainly in the mood to mess around with his Twitter following or his claims might really be true. One can only be assured if Karen Khachanov responds to this tweet.

This year certainly wasn’t up to anybody’s expectations. The pandemic has shattered the way how the world functions and we still continue to battle against the virus.
