Novak Djokovic is up for a fierce battle against the Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas in Melbourne Park. Having a 9–0 winning record in the Australian Open finals, the 35 years old Serbian is pretty much a favorite to clinch another Slam. However, his current world No. 4 opponent is also in great form and might have a shot to win his first Grand Slam title.
In doing so, Tsitsipas might also fulfill his astonishing pledge to build a school in Victoria if he outshines Djokovic on Sunday. However, the tennis community believes that it will be the ‘Djoker’ who will ruin Tsitsipas’ charitable and generous plans after clinching his 10th Australian Open title. In light of this, a slew of fans are comparing him to the popular Marvel villain character, “Thanos”, as he might kill the Greek’s charitable initiatives for kids in Victoria.

Others also joined the thread on the online platform, Reddit while hilariously expressing their opinions. Notably, another fan commented, “Djokovic will build an adult-only school to spite them”.
The remark got a reply that stated, “He will build an adult school with only one pupil – Nick Kyrgios”
Another fan said, “First he steals your legs, then your soul, and finally your opportunity to build a school.”
While expressing his love for Australia, Tsitsipas also revealed that he is a huge fan of the renowned actress, Margot Robbie.

Taking note of this, one of the fans commented, “This pic is telling Stef “Margot Robbie agreed to sit in my player’s box”
