Plíšková laughed at Tsitsipas. The women have to play in three winning sets, say the Greeks

Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas thinks that women in a grand slam tournament, where they receive the same prize as men, should play their match in three winning sets.

During the current Miami Open, the fifth player in the world rankings commented on the same honors that men and women receive in grand slam tournaments.

The Greek believes that the duration of the match can be lumped together in the future, and it doesn’t really matter whether the men in the Top Four only play for two winners or the tennis players and men in three winning sets. .

“I don’t want to be controversial, but there is the issue of pay equality. I was told that women have better stamina than men. Maybe they should play for three winners too. I want that,” said last year. finalist Roland Garros and three-time Australian Open semifinalist.

“On the other hand, we will see in men’s tennis much greater variability of grand slam winners if only two winners are played,” added Tsitsipas.

According to him, unexpected results and surprises will be added to the two winners at the expense of the big favourites.

The Greeks spoke from personal experience. In her maiden grand slam final a year ago in Paris, she won the first two sets over her favorite Novak Djokovic, but lost the lead and was sad after 7:6, 6:2, 3:6, 2:6, 4:6 losses.

Czech tennis player Karolína Plíšková responded to her words about equal conditions and rewards on social networks.

In a story while on Instagram, the world number eight shared an article with Tsitsipas’ remarks, adding laughing emoticons and ironic stickers questioning the common sense of a Greek player.

Plíšková had a negative attitude towards similar views in the past.

“I don’t like men who complain and vehemently refuse to accept the same money. I think that’s very weak from them,” he said two years ago.

He did not find the argument about matches being played with three winning sets to be relevant. “It’s just a grand slam. I understand that they played longer, but they are still boys, they are stronger than us. I don’t know why boys and girls have to be constantly compared,” he added at the time.
