"I constantly updated on the other players" - Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime and others reveal tennis obsession among players

Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime and other participants at the ongoing ABN AMRO Open recently discussed which athlete among them is the biggest tennis fanatic.

They were asked to choose among their fellow contenders, the player with the most enthusiasm for the sport.

Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, who made the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam event, picked himself as a huge tennis lover.

“I would put myself there, high,” the 37-year-old said.

Meanwhile, former World No. 2 Alexander Zverev claimed World No. 5 Andrey Rublev is a massive tennis buff, stating that the sport was the Russian’s “only hobby in the world.”

“Rublev. Yeah, tennis freak! It’s his only hobby, I think in the world,” Alexander Zverev said.

Grigor Dimitrov claimed that every tennis player loves to watch the sport, but specifically mentioned Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

“That’s a tough one! I know Stefanos loves to watch tennis. I think Felix too. I think everyone loves to watch and lives in the game,” Grigor Dimitrov said.

In tune with Grigor Dimitrov’s opinion, 2022 Rotterdam champion Felix Auger-Aliassime confessed that he is an avid tennis watcher and loves the sport.

“Good question, I don’t know. I feel like I watch a ton of tennis, like, I love it,” Felix Auger-Aliassime said.

Meanwhile, Stefanos Tsitsipas also revealed that he is a huge tennis fanatic and mentioned that he used to have a tennis-dedicated Facebook page, where he used to share frequent updates about players.

“I was really like a tennis fan one can say,” the World No. 3 said, “I used to have my journalism thing going on when I was younger, on the Facebook page, where I constantly updated on the other players.”
