Miami Open: Qualification in the "16" for Kyrgios-Kokkinakis - New blunder for Tsitsipas

The Greek tennis player said that women should also play 5 sets in the Grand Slams since they are paid the same as men or men play three sets.

In fact, he mobilized scientific research on the endurance of women, to document his position.

“I don’t want to be controversial or anything. There is also the topic of equal pay and everything, women getting equal pay for playing best-of-three, then getting equal pay for playing best-of-five. I don’t know. There are also a lot of scientists and statisticians, whatever, out there. I’ve been told that women have better endurance than men. I don’t know. ”

Further, he added, “Maybe they can also play best-of-five, I guess. For Grand Slams, best-of-five, I like it. On the other side, on the other hand, we would have seen much more variety when it comes to different Grand Slam winners if it was best-of-three, I believe. I very much believe that the winners of Grand Slams would be very different if the format was best-of-three in men. ”

The reaction of the Czech Katerina Pliskova was immediate, who posted Tsitsipas's statement posting mocking icons, in order to scold the intelligence of the Greek tennis player.

Tsitsipas is already in the 3rd round of this tournament after yesterday's 2-1 set victory (6-4, 6-7, 6-1), over the American Jay Jay Wolf.

Tomorrow morning, the Greek tennis player will face the Australian Alex de Minor with the aim of qualifying for the "16". Nick Kyrgios and Thanasis Kokkinakis are already there.
