Stefanos Tsitsipas was eager to commence his campaign at the Sunshine Double in Indian Wells and Miami, but eventually his wish was halted by the cancellation of both events because of the Coronavirus. The Greek sensation decided to spend more time in Indian Wells where he also posted a nice video while training with his father.
Eventually, the ATP suspended the tour for 6 weeks and Stefanos took social media to give a message to his fans as follows: “Do not take it lightly. Our coronavirus affects us all and we must all do what we can to reduce its spread. Protect us, but also protect the most vulnerable.”
Μην το παίρνετε ελαφριά. Ο κορονοϊός μας αφορά όλους και πρέπει όλοι να κάνουμε ό,τι μπορούμε για να μειώσουμε τη διασπορά του. Να προστατευτούμε εμείς, αλλά και να προστατέψουμε τους πιο ευάλωτους.
