Stefanos Tsitsipas had a relatively straightforward quarterfinal win at the Australian Open on Tuesday after defeating the world no.71 Jiri Lehecka 6-3 7-62 6-4. Nevertheless, tennis fans will remember the match for the on-court interview as Stefanos made a rather flirtatious invitation to gorgeous Australian actress Margot Robbie.
Tsitsipas: "One of my favorite actresses is Australian, Margot Robbie. (…) It'd be nice to see her overthere one day.
Courier: "So you're officialy extending an invitation to Margot Robbie? I just want to be crystal clear."
Tsitsipas: "Absolutely."
