‘Legggo’: Serena Williams and Husband Alexis Ohanian Cheer for Stefanos Tsitsipas at Australian Open 2022

In an engaging contest against Taylor Fritz in the fourth round of the Australian Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas managed to edge past the American in five sets and made it to the quarter-finals. Both Fritz and Tsitsipas had chances throughout the match and in the end, it was the Greek player who stepped up his game at crucial junctures to end up on the victorious side.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian commented on Stefanos Tsitsipas’ post

After the match, Tsitsipas shared the experience on his social media and wrote, “Blimey, while we were in there we saw chocolate ants, and chocolate locusts, and sugared scorpions,” possibly explaining his state of mind while the match was going on.

Among the numerous people to react to Stefanos’ post was the legendary Serena Williams. Serena, who is currently aiming to make a comeback on the WTA tour, commented, “Legggo”. Also, Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian wrote, “Lock in!! LFG.” Both Serena and Tsitsipas have Patrick Mouratoglou as their coach as they schedule their sessions at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in France.

Stefanos Tsitsipas post is also in reference to a bug that ended up on-court. The ball girl was scared to pick it up and Tsitsipas took the bug, put it on his racquet and threw it outside the court.

Tsitsipas will face a tough battle in Australian Open QFs against Jannik Sinner

Coming to the Australian Open, Tsitsipas has another stiff challenge ahead in the form of Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. The match is scheduled to take place at 9.30 am local time at Rod Laver Arena. Tsitsipas is the obvious favorite but let’s not forget the progress of Jannik Sinner as a complete player over the last 12 months.

Also, the fact that Sinner has a victory over Tsitsipas couple of years ago at Rome Masters might help the Italian to some extent.

Looking at Serena Williams, the 23-time major champion is yet to announce her comeback event on the WTA tour. She pulled out of the Australian Open as she wasn’t deemed medically fit by her team. But, Serena intends to bounce back to top form and fancy her chances of winning the elusive 24th major title.
