Stefanos Tsitsipas
World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas isn’t the most loved player on tour. Despite his amazing play style and flamboyance on the court, Tsitsipas is always under constant scrutiny from the fans due to his coaching antics. He is often criticized publicly for getting mid-match caching from his father and coach Apostolos Tsitsipas.
He has never completely admitted to getting on-court coaching but has vouched for it many times. Once again, in the final of the Monte Carlo Masters against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Tsitsipas was caught cheating as he was seen getting illegal coaching from his box during the second set. It was during the same time when Fokina was starting to get momentum on serve. 5-5 squared in the second set, his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, was seen speaking to Stef which broke Fokina’s momentum.
As a result, the umpire gave Tsitsipas a warning for on-court coaching after which he was greeted by a string of boos by the neutral Monte Carlo crowd. This is also not the first time Tsitsipas has been accused of illegal coaching.
Nevertheless, Fokina managed to hold serve in the game and took the set into a tie-breaker. The Greek, using his big match temperament, managed to win the tie-breaker by dropping just three points and hence won the match. He has thus successfully defended his Monte Carlo title and has now won his second Masters title.
Fans lash out on Stefanos Tsitsipas after he gets caught red-handed
Fans were quick to react to Tsitsipas’ horrible behavior. Almost everyone slammed his on-court coaching antics and called for a ban of his father from his box.
