US Open [Men], 2021 - Grand Slam

Oh No....off to set 4

 

[kskate2]

TPK having his customary Potty break after 3 sets

 

[Moxie]

And Tsitsipas goes off for the "gear change." Espn is timing it.

 

[Fiero425]

...Deja Vu; Tsitsipas in a battle, drops 3rd set to Mannarino and leaves the court to change clothes! Lets see how long it takes!

 

[Moxie]

So, 8 minutes. And the crowd is giving him the boos.

 

[kskate2]

as they should

 

[Fiero425]

Looks as if the NY crowd has turned! They're booing Stefanos now for these long breaks making player and crowd wait to change his luck!

 

[Moxie]

as they should

Indeed. Listen, the roof may be closed, but the bars are open. And the NY crowd doesn't suffer fools. He'll find out soon if he has lost their support.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is getting out of control with his Potty Breaks period,I have lost all respect for this player

 

[Moxie]

That's the kind of point that can get the crowd back on his side. And Mannarino doesn't look like he'll last 5.

He is probably looking at the text messages from Daddy in the toilet,cause he cannot use his brain to work things out on court for himself.

It's apparent he's not going to curtail the time until the ATP makes him.

Looks to be a repeat of an injury with Mannarino! He had 40-L on serve and has allowed Stefanos to break him! Silly! He's limping!

 

[Moxie]

Frenchman looks cooked in the legs.

He's done. Stick a fork in him. Probably doesn't want to quit down 0-3, he'll play it out

 

[Moxie]

Yeah, I think his back, maybe? If he plays it out I have to admire that. So many don't.

I hope the ATP calls him out on this,he has been doing this for sometime,he is abusing the rule for starters,his opponents also have had enough.

 

[Moxie]

Wow, first question, and he talks about how he needed to change his kit after the 3rd set. He's on the PR defensive.

I actually hope tennis addresses the vagueness of the rules. Tsitsipas is only exploiting what's there. He does damage to his reputation, with the fans and in the locker room, but unless they change some rules, he's within bounds. I'm not saying I like it, and I certainly don't respect it, but thems the rules. Too vague, is the problem.

Well it is also up to the umpires they are suppose to be in charge of the match aren't they? I mean he gets away with murder,he gets a warning time and time again for 'coaching' from his dad,they should give him a point penalty? this is like a circus,as I stated earlier I have lost all respect for this player.
