Stefanos Tsitsipas is unstoppable during the Mubadala Wolrd Tennis Championship. The Greek sensation dismissed an in-form Andrey Rublev before defeating Novak Djokovic after a high-quality match.
However, the world no.6 achieved also “off court greatness” to show off his culinary skills dressed as a proper chef in front of a bemused and entertained crowd in Abu Dhabi.

This is not the first time that the Greek had fun cooking in front of the cameras. Earlier in the year, he tried his luck cooking sushi in Sydney.

Stefanos has an important match ahead as he will face Rafael Nadal in the final. The Spaniard was in an imperious form in the other semifinal in Abu Dhabi after he brushed aside Karen Khachanov after dropping just 4 games in a 6-1 6-3 win.
