Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev have a rather strong rivalry being at the forefront of the so-called next-gen. The Greek and the German won the last 2 editions of the ATP Finals and have already defeated the big3 multiple times.
Stefanos and Sascha have an interesting relationship. Things didn’t look that great at the beginning. After the German lost to Tsitsipas in 2018 at the Rogers Cup he refused to give credits to his conqueror saying that he lost only because his performance was pathetic. Later in the year, Sascha took aim at Stefanos and Tiafoe for the excessive use of towels. Nevertheless, things looked better after they played together the Laver Cup for Team Europe, but probably their relationship is still not that ideal.
Tsitsipas making fun of Zverev?
Sascha is putting a lot of hours in the gym during this Coronavirus outbreak in order to improve his built. The 23-year-old loves posting his hard work and improvements on social media. Recently Sascha posted a clip showing off a huge jump at the gym. Stefanos posted something similar, but… was he making fun of him? You decide!
