World No. 3, Stefanos Tsitsipas, reached the second Grand Slam final of his professional career at the 2023 Australian Open. Tsitsipas saw a repeat of the 2021 French Open final as he was defeated by none other than tennis great Novak Djokovic yet again. The Greek often posts on his social media platform, to share his opinions as well as interact with fans.
The player recently went on Twitter to react to an AI-generated representation of tennis matches. Tsitsipas went on to respond to the tweet by Universal Tennis, a digital marketplace for the sport. As expected, fans were baffled by the artificially created images as they pointed out the absurd components of the photos.
Tsitsipas, on the other hand, made a suggestion regarding the future look of tennis. He went on to tweet that in-built GPS tennis balls would be quite helpful. The 24-year-old elaborated that it would be difficult to “lose them in the bushes” again, owing to the technology. Many fans agreed with the star, while others joked about the interesting solution.
Since the inception of professional-level tennis, many new technologies have arisen, which have aided in the efficient development of the sport. Some of the existing technologies, such as Hawk-eye line calling, telemetry sensors, and other developments, have helped to make more accurate decisions on the court and improve the game.
Fans also “lauded” the Greek’s excellent shanking skills, saying the technology would benefit the player himself. Criticism of this sort of technology in sports was also promoted by fans. Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
