Stefanos Tsitsipas and Dominic Thiem
Austrian tennis ace Dominic Thiem and the Greek gun Stefanos Tsitstipas played a phenomenal match at ATP Finals 2019 in London, and the duo made sure that tennis is in good hands once the ‘Big Three’ hang their tennis racquets.
During these tennis-less days the two professionals were seen interacting with each other and Tsitstipas attempted to speak German to Thiem, which is Dominic’s native tongue.
It turned out to be hilarious as Tsitstipas memorized a few lines and delivered it in a funny accent. Also, he confessed to having some Austrian roots.

Later he clarified his take and stood by his decision. He feels its better to help those people who are really in need other than tennis professionals. “I don’t really want to clarify anything, I stand by what I said. The problem was that a headline was taken out, there was a shortening. I said from the start that a lot of players are worthy of support,” Thiem said.
