Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed that he has been trying to learn French during the Coronavirus pandemic taking advantage of the free time. The Greek tried to go one step further: speaking German.
During a broadcast with an Austrian outlet, the world no.6 wanted to impress his friend and rival Dominic Thiem with a couple of lines in German. The result was hilarious, with everyone laughing at it. However, the effort looked to be appreciated by the audience.
