Stefanos Tsitsipas has been traveling all over the world during the global pandemic. Nevertheless, the Greek sensation decided not to get vaccinated unless it will become mandatory.
It was the world number 3 to disclose his decision during a press conference in Cincinnati. Stefanos commented:
“No one has told me anything. No one has made it a mandatory thing to be vaccinated. At some point, I will have to, I’m pretty sure about it, but so far, it hasn’t been mandatory to compete, so I haven’t done it, no.”
Stefanos Tsitsipas is seeded number 2 in Cincinnati and therefore, he will start his campaign from the second round. Tsitsipas will face either Sebastian Korda or Laslo Djere.
