Tennis fans were shocked to learn about the price of Stefanos Tsitsipas's outfit he wore during a recent event in Athens, Greece.
Tsitsipas started the year promisingly, finishing as the runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open. However, his fortunes dwindled in the following tournaments.
The Greek finished as a quarterfinalist at the French Open, but exited Wimbledon in the fourth round and crashed out of the US Open in the second round. To make matters worse, he had to pull out of the ATP Finals during the round-robin stage due to a back injury.
Tsitsipas finished the 2023 season with just one title under his belt, at the Los Cabos Open in August. He beat John Isner, Nicolas Jerry, Borna Coric and Alex de Minaur (in the final) to lift the ATP 250 trophy in the Mexican city.
The World No. 6, however, has been doing well for himself financially, and his total net worth right now is $14 million. He recently attended an event in his hometown of Athens wearing a sweatsuit worth $18,300 designed by Italian designer Loro Piana.
Tennis buffs were stunned to find out the price of his outfit as one of them took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
"Rich people are insane because in what world would u pay that much for this outfit."
Another fan wondered how Tsitsipas managed to spend such a large amount of money despite earning less than the top three players in the rankings.
"How much is Tsitsipas making for him to be wearing $9000 sweat pants. Is it crack? Someone who isn’t winning grand slams should be saving," the fan tweeted.
A third fan chimed in, saying:
"Wearing pajamas the price of a car….. couldn’t be me."

In his withdrawal announcement from the 2023 ATP Finals in November, Stefanos Tsitsipas suggested that he had different hopes for the season.
"My season has ended very differently to how I'd hoped. Despite the hard work my team and I put in to get me fit for todays match and the rest of the week -- I'm gutted to have to pull out of the @nittoatpfinals," he wrote on Instagram.
Stefanos Tsitsipas was replaced in the tournament by Poland's Hubert Hurkacz after his mid-match retirement against Holger Rune. Hurkacz played the Greek's last scheduled group stage match against eventual champion Novak Djokovic and lost 6-7(1), 6-4, 1-6.
