Should Greek champion Stefanos be renamed BzzBzzpas? It is a possibility since the funny incident which concerned Tsitsipas on Wednesday during the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati. As he faced American Ben Sheldon (beaten in straight sets, (7-6(3), 7-6(2)), the world’s No. 4 player started waving his racquet as if trying to chase a insect. Then he interrupted himself twice when he had to serve before approaching the referee. He then explained the reason for his annoyance: a spectator, just behind him, would make bee buzzing at the time of its implementation.
The Greek approached the group of spectators he suspected of being the source of the noise. As he engaged in dialogue, a spectator located just behind did not hesitate to point the finger at a spectator in the first row as being the author of the sound of discord.
After a few moments of hesitation and requests from Tsitsipas to expel the culprit, the latter finally made a gesture of apology in the direction of the player. Everything was then back to normal and the game was able to end without a hitch.
