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.
Stefanos is currently training at the Patrick Mouratoglou’s Academy. Dominic has started to play in regional events. The Austrian has also agreed to join Novak Djokovic’s Adria Tour that will take place in the Balkans in June and July.
