The duo was discussing Tsitsipas’ hair care routine, he told her about putting mayonnaise in his hair and attempted to play a prank on Naomi. With the Japanese believing Stefanos’ words, she fell into his trap.

“I put Greek olive oil in my hair, then I add some wasabi in and some vinegar as well. It blends really well… Then I leave it in for about 25 or 30 minutes [and] go take a shower. I definitely put mayonnaise in, that’s for sure. It’s like a one time per week thing,” the Greek gun stated.
