Stefanos Tsitsipas: Bathing in… ice after losing the final in Cincinnati

The 24-year-old tennis player’s first post in several days on Twitter comes after the end of the Cincinnati Masters – His stern look and message

Stefanos Tsitsipas was absent from Twitter for about 10 days and the occasion was none other than the Cincinnati Masters in which he participated and had a very good run.

The 24-year-old athlete, after a great victory against his great rival Daniil Medvedev in the semi-final, “emptied” and was defeated in the final by Borna Coric.

Tsitsipas lost the first set 7-6 despite leading 4-1 games, while in the second set it was as if it never came out on the court as he lost it almost hands down 6-2, missing out on a 10th career title.

After the match ended, he returned to Twitter looking relaxed despite his loss. In particular, the Greek star posted a photo in which he was in a bathtub full of ice – a common recovery for athletes after tiring matches or tournaments – adopting a somber style, something unusual for him. The image was accompanied by a caption – a play on words as he wrote “stay cool” meaning both the temperature he was at and the composure he needs.
