2023 didn’t end well for 25-year-old Tennis star, Stefanos Tsitsipas. This prodigy known to be the winner of ten ATP tournament titles already, couldn’t remain on the court against Holger Rune in 2023’s Nitto ATP game. However, this Greek player’s sudden decision to back off from the ATP 2023 tournament didn’t go well with the spectators. Now even tennis star Andy Roddick is dropping harsh comments against Tsitsipas’s decision.

Tsitsipas wasn’t defeated by another 19-year-old tennis prodigy Rune, but he had to retire from the tournament due to injury. What a bad luck indeed! However, his colleagues sadly do not possess similar thinking!

Andy Roddick doesn’t support Stefanos Tsitsipas’ decision to retire from ATP 2023 tournament

Stefanos Tsitsipas truly faced bad luck as due to injury he retired from the tournament after just three games. While competing against Holger Rune, the audience noticed him visibly uncomfortable. While he managed to pull 2-1, he had to consult a doctor during the changeover break. This is when he decided to drop out of the tournament due to a back injury, which brought a swift victory for Rune in the ATP 2023 tournament.

While fans are concerned over his health for future matches, Andy Roddick seemed to have no cool for Tsitsipas’ decision. Roddick commented that Stefanos Tsitsipas needed to be more careful about his health while jumping to tournaments. Referring to Tsitsipas’ earlier comments about the Nitto ATP Tournament’s importance being more than the Grand Slam, Roddick said- “I don’t think he believes what he says.” 

Andy Roddick also supported Jim Courier’s views. He said that Tsitsipas needs to look after his health, especially for the upcoming January tennis session. Roddick mentioned that Tsitsipas became a point of concern for his fans given that he has multiple injuries to deal with before he comes back to his full form. While Andy Roddick is truly a bit hard on Tsitsipas, he made an unbelievably great comment about Djokovic even though he was defeated by Sinner during the finals.

Andy Roddick might not support Tsitsipas’ retirement from the 2023 ATP tournament, but he was truly different while speaking about Djokovic’s performance. Although Novak Djokovic couldn’t stand against Italian tennis, his colleague Roddick said that the game was one of the best in the history of ATP Finals. In Roddick’s words- “Hey that might have been the best match ever played.” Roddick’s praise continued and he even mentioned- “Novak played well today. He doesn’t often play that well.”

This is because this tournament sought so many expectations from the audience. What do you think about Stefanos Tsitsipas’ sudden retirement from the Nitto ATP 2023 Tournaments?
