It is just Day 7 at the Shanghai Masters and the tournament has already witnessed some mouth-watering matches along with some of the biggest shockers at the tournament. While Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz blew out in a very unexpected manner, another star from the top 10 ATP rankings followed them out. Stefanos Tsitsipas, who came into the tournament as one of the favorites had to suffer a defeat at the hands of Ugo Humbert.
After the unexpected loss, the fans could not hold their words as they took to Twitter to lash out at Tsitsipas. The Greek player, who recently parted ways with his coach and brought back his father could not help him progress further into the tournament.

Another user went ahead to claim that Tsitsipas has been suffering from a downfall since April or May and his coaching situation is also messed up. This could probably have been the reason why he was not able to secure the win here in China. ‘Is it me, or has Tsitsipas been on a steady downhill ride since around April/May….I think his head is all messed up…and his coaching team sucks….’ wrote the fan.
