The World No. 3 got off to a sensational start at US Open 2021. He overcame the three-time Grand Slam champion, Andy Murray, in a marathon five-set match. The match was controversial as Murray accused the Greek of taking long bathroom breaks to disrupt the flow of the competition.

Subsequently, Tsitsipas advanced to the third round of the competition. However, 18-year-old, Carlos Alcaraz stunned the Greek to clinch the victory in a five-set thriller.

Tsitsipas will be now competing at Indian Wells. In a press conference, Tsitsipas got questioned on his bathroom break status at Indian Wells. To this, the Greek replied with a wry smile,” It’s very dry here. We know that when we come here the conditions are very dry. That is good for me because I guess I sweat less which makes for less bathroom breaks which makes for less complaints. So very good sign so far.”

Stefanos had a knowing smile on his face when he said the part about ‘less complaints’, referring to the repeated controversies the Greek star has caused due to his elongated bathroom breaks. It’ll be interesting to see how Stefanos fares at Indian Wells as he looks to recover from a subpar US Open, according to his lofty standards.
