During the event, Stefanos Tsitsipas was particularly upbeat during the pairs draw ahead of the tennis national team’s game with their Ecuadorian counterpart for the Davis Cup.

The top Greek tennis player appeared to be enjoying the moment while looking forward to competing at the OAKA, which is expected to have more than 14,000 fans.

Immediately after the end of the event, Stefanos Tsitsipas had a short dialogue with Dimitris Agravanis and Nikos Pappas.

Especially with the striker of the Greens one talked longer, whereby the number 3 in the world rankings is read a lot and also confirms his love for basketball.

The story behind the three-point hitch and training

In fact, during their conversation, which was also attended by coach Christos Fiotakis, it turned out that he and the other national team members were following the progress of the blue and white team in the EuroBasket.

At the time, Greece also competed in tennis when they faced Tunisia in the Davis Cup qualifying phasep.

The national basketball team then played the game against Germany, which eliminated them from the game. The top Greek tennis player had uploaded a video where Costas Antetokounmpo burst into tears and wrote: “We’ll take it, folks. Heads up. trust in the heart. Proud.” using the hashtag #NoRetreatNoSurrender (=no retreat, no surrender).

Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed that he and his teammates were looking for a way to watch the Tunisia games anywhere and they finally managed to do it via a tablet.

Mr Fiotakis even mentioned that Stefanos jokingly said at the time that our national team needed three-point training.

Impressed by OAKA

From then on, Stefanos Tsitsipas did not hide his admiration for OAKA’s image. In various wells that the 24-year-old tennis player had, he pointed out that he did not expect this shape of the main hall of the Olympic complex. He was impressed when told that the OAKA’s capacity is close to that of the O2 Arena.

More than a few times he stressed that he is looking forward to competing in front of the Greek fans, while in his statements he indicated that it is a great success for those involved in the organization that more than 14,000 fans will be attending OAKA both on Saturday as well as on Sunday.
