Stefanos Tsitsipas, the former number 3 in the ATP rankings has recently drawn quite a lot of criticism after pulling out of the tournament which he called bigger than Slam. The 2019 winner gave a walkover to Holger Rune at the ATP Finals on November 14 just after 17 minutes of the match due to an injury. This led to a flurry of jeering and booing down from the stands. However, this wasn’t the first time he was facing that, and now it seems it wasn’t the last time either. But why?
