Stefanos behaviour after losing

[Steve500]

Stefanos acts all upset when he loses often . He doesn’t act like a people’s champion eg goody two shoes Pat Rafter always gracious in defeat and wins nice guy participation awards types eg media darling. .

Stefanos acts likes Tennis is dog eat dog and Everyman for themselves , and he makes it clear he’s not gonna be all happy if he loses and applaud the winner eg unlike say goody two shoes Pat Rafter or Federer or Rafa.

Stefanos acts like there’s no friends out there and thinks it’s silly for players to be good sports. He’s being prickly and competitive. Not nice guy Pat Rafter style.
He doesn’t care being painted a sports villain.

Stefanos often when he loses acts like he’s not worried being cast as the bad guy or not Mr friends with my opponents. He sometimes acts like it’s all about him, and he’s not gonna pretend to be all happy when he loses to the opponent who beats him. He’s annoyed Andy Murray, Mills Ranioc , Kyrgios , Rubelev and others eg sore loser type stuff some say.

I sometimes wonder that Stefanos doesn’t care about getting good PR, and doesn’t care if he’s typecast as the villain unlike say a Pat Rafter Federer or Rafa type eg media darlings and squeeky clean teachers pet image to fans and other players.

Does Stefanos need to change his style when he loses? Or is it fine as is?

He just doesn’t seem as level headed as say a Rafa or Fed or Novak or someone like Ash Barty, win or lose.

He’s very emotional character is Stefanos.

Stefanos is like Djokovic.. wants to be loved but cannot figure out a way to get there

Nadal is a pretty sore loser like Tsitsipas

All the BS wanky philosophy is something they have in common too.

His face at the 2017 AO trophy presentation said it all. lol

He was sooooooo salty, just lost to his pigeon, the mentally weakest player of all time, no?

salty rusty peak injected bull?

When Nadal kept losing to Federer in 2017, his salty face really came out.

 

[norcal]

Tsits was so mad in Laver Cup dubs he tried to take Shelton's head off. Even the announcers said he wasn't trying to keep his 120mph FH in the court, Stef just wanted to brain him lol.

Imagine being that mad in a dubs exo.

 

[Youngheart]

Sir, this is a Wendy's

Uhhh,...I'll take one Chocolate Frosty, please.
(I usually never say please, but you seem like a fast server --- pun.)

 

[Sephiroth]

He's still playing tennis?

 

[Lleytonstation]

He's still playing tennis?

It really feels like he isn't. I forgot completely about coric and khachanov too. Like they retired.

 

[Tennfan123]

He loses like someone who cant handle pressure that well

 

[Steve500]

Sir, this is a Wendy's

What you mean by this? I have not heard that term, what are you saying ?

 

[JasonZ]

Stefanos is like Djokovic.. wants to be loved but cannot figure out a way to get there

but unlike djokovic, stefanos also cant figure out how to win slams

 

[kangaroo1973]

Djokovic is sometimes pretty salty too. Nardi match comes to mind earlier this year.
Fed used to be salty early in his career, and in the aftermath of USO SF 11 where he choked against Djokovic. Otoh that press conference was funny as hell.
I think that Stef is not a bad person, he is annoying with that pseudo-philosophic bs of his, but his family takes the cake in terms of being annoying.

 

[jl809]

lol Loserpas is a moron who couldn’t be likeable if he tried. There’s wanting to win and then there’s smashing up chairs around ball boys during exhos because you’re just a cvnt

 

[Sudacafan]

I have the solution for him.
He should avoid losing at all costs, he's a very cool guy, wise and philosophical when he wins.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Should've switched to a 2H

Who says goody two shoes in 2024

 

[fafa]

"he’s not gonna be all happy if he loses and applaud the winner eg unlike say goody two shoes Pat Rafter or Federer or Rafa"

That's not the case with either of them, you could've given better examples.

 

[SonnyT]

Djokovic rather defeated the people's champion Federer at the temple of tennis, Wimbledon, than be popular!

 

[Steve500]

Who says goody two shoes in 2024

Media. He is competitive and makes it clear he’s not friends with the people who beat him , and makes it clear to the players that beat him that they’ve upset him.

Aaand here we go...

 

[Justshort]

Funny how when you mention Djokovic in negative way in non Djokovic topic, you get bunch of likes from people Djokovic left in ruins.
Will those scars ever heal ?

 

[LeftyMagic]

they are all salty, thats how they got there. ever seen a junior tennis brat? or those junior tennis kids who are overly cocky? this is what happens when they make it and expect to win every day. its sadly what makes a lot of them reach this level. i cant stand the greek, just keeping it real, they’re all salty dogs otherwise they’d be feeding u balls at your local club

He'll get better w/ more practice at losing.

 

[Mainad]

It's good to get upset when you lose. The trick is to channel that emotion into start winning. Steph seems to have forgotten how to do that (at least for every event that isn't Monte Carlo).

Sometimes? He is always gracious in defeat. With everyone. Nardi may be one of the ONLY counter examples in the recent years. If not the only one. And he had good reasons for that one, he was stolen a key point by the umpire.

Tsitsipas is almost always a sore loser. He literally tried to injure Kyrgios (ON PURPOSE) with a ball in Wimbledon. Not even Zverev or Medvedev sank this low. He insulted Rublev in a press conference. He is one of the worst.

 

[Sudacafan]

Someone make a thread asking who is the worse (or less gracious) loser in the ATP
Candidates: Tsits, Zverev, etc.

That means they will have enemies and not make friends with a dog eat dog attitude . They are guilty of competitive and salty behaviour. They are acting like it’s a false illusion that tennis is a gentleman sport

When Nadal kept losing to Federer in 2017, his salty face really came out.

At least he didn't cry like a baby.

Plus, your theory is BS. Nadal smiled A LOT in the Shanghai 2017 final, to the point it was almost a meme how could he look so happy after the loss. He looked 0% salty after that match.

His face at the 2017 AO trophy presentation said it all. lol

He was sooooooo salty, just lost to his pigeon, the mentally weakest player of all time, no?

I would say the man who started crying like a baby was even saltier after W 2008 and the AO 2009.

 

[Sudacafan]

Lately, it's been his only behavior noticed, because of lack of a different result.

 

[Aabye5]

Don't really get the point of this post. Should he act happy when he loses?

I thought how he acted early on his career (his beef with Medvedev comes to mind), was more problematic.
