Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the top tennis players in the world that is giving headaches to some of his fans and commentators because of the pronunciation of his surname.
According to U.S. Captioning Company Stefanos landed in the list of the most mispronounced words in the United States alongside some other popular words such as Omicron and Ethereum.
Stefano’s surname should be pronounced “TSEE-tsee-pas.”
There was a similar episode at the beginning of Novak Djokovic’s career when his surname was constantly misspelled.
