Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently in Melbourne gearing up for the Australian Open 2021. The 22-year-old is loved by fans all around the world, but he recently faced harsh criticism because of his training in Dubai. After crashing out of the round-robin stage at the ATP Finals 2020, Tsitsipas packed his bags and went to Dubai. The Greek player indulged in intense training in the middle-east, but also attended parties, which infuriated some of his fans.
Tsitsipas partied in Dubai and uploaded pictures of it online. While Dubai wasn’t on high COVID-19 alert, fans were still upset that he was reckless about the threat of the virus. He faced a lot of heat by fans due to his actions.
“So many times I see hatred from people. Not that I care because I know what a person I am and what my intentions are. I have no negative or bad intentions for anyone, and I love everyone,” Tsitsipas said as he reacted to the negativity.
The Greek also faced criticism for making comments about the virus, since the area he was staying in had almost eliminated it completely. But other parts of the world were still suffering, and fans accused him of being insensitive.
“I generally like to project and leave a positive aura with the people I meet and spend time with,” Tsitsipas said about his actions.
“I try with my “voice” that I have through Twitter to express myself as a person and as an athlete” – Tsitsipas
Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the most loved players on tour. The Greek usually stays free of any criticism. That had been the case, but his uploads from Dubai stirred up controversy on the internet, and the Greek national just couldn’t understand why.
He said: “But many times I see comments on the internet, some of my friends, family members send me all this hatred on the internet, and I can not understand why people hate so much, for reasons that are completely meaningless.”
The 22-year old tries to uphold that quality as a human, but sometimes it is hard to maintain such a reputation in the virtual world. He is a big believer of radiating ‘positive energy’. After this incident, Tsitsipas might now be wary of ending up on the wrong side of affairs.
“I love everyone! I try with my “voice” that I have through Twitter to express myself as a person and as an athlete,” the World No. 6 added.
