Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev do not seem to share a great relationship. After Tsitispas defeated him back in 2018, Zverev refused to acknowledge Stefanos, saying he lost just because he played horrible tennis. Things got even more awkward between the 2 when Sascha publicly accused him of cheating when they played in Cincinnati. The German player hinted that Stefanos was going to the toilet to receive text messages from his father secretly.
Tsitsipas and Zverev tried to bond when teaming up for Team Europe at the Laver Cup, but it’s clear that they will not become best friends.
Tsitsipas not touching Zverev
Tennis fans could not miss that during the ritual photograph before their match in Monte Carlo, Stefanos looked reluctant to touch Zverev. Obviously, “tennis twitter” got on fire about that.
