In a recent series of events, a tennis fan had an opportunity to meet two of their favorite tennis players in a grocery store. They had just finished watching the players in the Indian Wells tournament and went to a grocery store to run errands.

So, the players not only got their pictures clicked with the fans but also asked the fans to take some other fun pictures with them. In one of the photos, it can be seen that Stefanos Tsitsipas is sitting in a cart from the grocery store while getting his picture clicked and Novak Djokovic is pointing towards him.

Out of all of them, Tsitsipas’ picture sitting in the cart went viral on the internet as fans reacted with degrees of hilarity.

The image shows Djokovic and Tsitsipas standing outside in a parking lot. Or perhaps it’s better to say that the Serbian stands, holding a shopping cart in front of him. Inside sits the Greek tennis player with a water bottle in hand, both grinning for the camera.

One fan hilariously commented that Tsitsipas must have been available in the store, “Novak Djokovic just purchased a brand new 2024 Stefanos Tsitsipas.” It really looked like he had just purchased Stefanos right from a store the way the two of them were posing!

Another fan added, “Why does my grocery store only sell food and not Stef.” Well, they were surely disappointed that Stefanos Tsitsipas is not for sale in their respective grocery stores. Only if it was to happen for real!

A fan also added, “Hoping it’s not a perishable product”, making fun of Stefanos Tsitsipas being a product that may perish over time.

 

One of the last funny comments was, “It was something wrong with the old one. Hope the new Stefanos is better.” The fans also made fun of the fact that Novak Djokovic purchased a better version of Stefanos Tsitsipas given that the old one was not that good.
