Stefanos Tsitsipas is now in Indian Wells, where he is about to start the tournament seeded number 2. The Greek sensation has been at the center of a quirky controversy during the American summer because of his long toilet breaks. Unfortunately, Stefanos Tsitsipas has been accused by Sascha Zverev and Andy Murray of cheating while using these breaks.
Stefanos has always stated that he needs to have these toilet breaks because he sweats a lot and needs to change his entire gear.
Toilet breaks in Indian Wells
During a funny exchange in the pre-tournament press conference, Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed that he is pleased for the fact that the air in Indian Wells is particularly dry. Therefore, he does not expect to have prolonged toilet breaks.
Tsitsipas commented:
“It’s very dry. We know that when we come here the conditions are very dry. That is good for me I guess because I guess I sweat less which makes for less bathroom breaks which makes for less complaints. So good very good sign so far.”
