Stefanos Tsitsipas was in a great mood ahead of his first-round match against Daniel Elahi Galan Riveros at the US Open.
During the press conference that preceded his match, when asked to comment about his new coach Mark Philippoussis, Stefanos came out with this funny statement:
“He’s the best-looking one from the coaches. He attracts a lot of the opposite gender these days. That is kind of frustrating for my dad and me, but it’s okay. We’re trying to balance that out as much as possible.”
