"I hope Stefanos Tsitsipas will apologize one day for his behavior" - Filip Krajinovic after Hamburg QF win

Z can also be an @$$hat to ballkids, officials, and apparently also his GF.
I don't have a problem with players who lose it at themselves or throw racquets. To me that's just mental midgetry, not bad sportsmanship. But Zverev does more than just that.

Ok. I believe you. I've never seen that. Bit obviously I've read about the GF thing--not a good look.

I didn't want to believe it at first, but his halfhearted denials had "guilty" written all over them.

I will add that on court, Zverev is nowhere near the worst when it comes to behavior. Besides the usual suspects, Verdasco comes to mind. Beautiful game, horrible attitude towards officials and ballkids.

Yeah the more I read about Verdasc-hole, the less I like him.

This is well put

Zverev's arrogance is mostly on display and centred only around himself,don't think he has disrespected his opponents openly on court. Medvedev too directs his misbehavior at himself and his team.

Stefanos regularly directly or indirectly keeps disrespecting his opponents.

I’d rather see a player disrespect his opponent than his team. His opponent at least has a means to defend himself, through the umpire, officials, etc.

A player’s team is typically dependent upon the player, so defending themselves may lose them their livelihood or the like. Seems a bit emotionally abusive to me. I’d rather be a bad sport.

Is Krajinovic gonna be ok?

Should we call the waahbulance for him?

I dunno about Krajinovic but if he's a crybaby, needs Waahbulance, along with the fact Stef pulled few gamesmanship tricks from his sleeve on Stef's best surface, in a tournament where Stef explicitly said he is gunning after no. 1 ranking and this wants to win AND despite all this Stefanos lost easy and it hurt him so much that he started advocating On court coaching.

I am not entirely sure that Krajinovic is the one that needs anything.
