2019 Queens QF: Tsitsipas vs Auger-Aliassime

[EllieK]

If it's because of his looks, I'd have to agree with you, but if it's for some other reason I'd need more info.

His looks work for me. Reminds me of Borg

You must be joking) His looks, though, are also something that sets him apart.
Well, he's from Greece... have you seen many Greek players? )
I remember someone on this forum used the words 'his fiery greekness' )) That's closest to that scary, and equally intriguing, side of his. I don't know what he'll do next. There are many who smash rackets and other things, he's smashing himself. I can't figure him out, like, you know, we say Thiem is 'a nice guy' or Kyrgios is 'a bad boy'. Some say Tsitsipas is 'a brat', well, I can't be satisfied with that )
Probably all of this has to do with his social media self-promotion, which is also new to me)

There's no law that says you have to like Felix better than Stef. We all like certain players for reasons that are ones that resonate with us. It's not about picking the best player, but just being a fan of whoever you want.
Cheers!

True. But we want our man to win. We want him to be the best!

Well so far you have ducked my question.

You said:
"But there's no turning away from Tsits now, whatever. Better or not, he's just... different. Something of a player I've never seen before."

To which I asked:

"Can you put into words exactly what it is that you see in Tsitsi that you have never seen before?"

To which you replied:

"Sure. For one, he scares me)"

I don't think you were referring solely to his looks when you said
"...Something of a player I've never seen before."

What do you see in Tsitsi that you haven't ever seen before in another player?

Is Post #152 invisible to you, Mark-Touch?)

Yes I did read it.
OMG!
The guy is from Greece!
We never saw that before. LOL!
That's certainly worth writing about.
Anything else about him that you've never seen before?

Tstsi is such a lost cause. Wish he would just crash out of these tournaments early and let someone else have a shot at the titles. He always disposes of guys early in the first week then just turns to trash in the late rounds
