Playing in the quarter-final of the tournament, Stefanos was handed a code violation for apparent on-court coaching. This wasn’t a first for the Greek as he faced a similar incident at the Australian Open, earlier this year. Even though faced with criticism, the youngster took to Twitter to express how he truly felt about this situation.
