Stefanos Tsitsipas takes part in a hilarious video along with noted Tik-tok artist, Khaby Lame
The Greek recently posted a video on twitter, where he performed alongside famous Tik-Tok artist, Khaby Lame. The Senegal-born personality, who shot to fame during the lockdown last year with his reaction videos on Tik-tok, became the second most followed person on the app.
Coming to the clip, Khaby Lame tried a serve which went really long(into the stands) as Tsitsipas took over and hit the serve perfectly. Later, the Greek gave a similar reaction to what Lame does in his reaction videos.
Tsitsipas tweeted, “You’re welcome, Khaby Lame”.
You’re welcome @KhabyLame

Surely, this was an unexpected collaboration that turned out to be hilarious. With Khaby residing in Italy, fans might expect some more reaction videos from the Senegalese at the upcoming ATP World Tour Finals.
Coming to Stefanos Tsitsipas, he had a prolific start to the year as he reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open and went on to reach his maiden slam final at Roland Garros. Against Djokovic, the world no.4 was up by two sets before the Serb decided to stage yet another epic comeback of sorts.
Post the French Open defeat, the Greek star struggled to sustain the heat on grass and hard-courts. At SW19, he lost to the American, Frances Tiafoe in straight sets.

Even though Tsitsipas managed to reach the semi-finals at Cincinnati and Montreal Masters, he was outpowered by Opelka and Zverev respectively.
Adding to this, there were adverse reactions from fans and fellow players alike to his long bathroom breaks that took the attention away from his tennis. Andy Murray and Alexander Zverev were the ones to openly rebuke the Greek over the delay in bathroom breaks.
As a result of his withdrawal from Paris Masters, Stefanos Tsitsipas had enough time to recover from injury and will try to stop the likes of Novak Djokovic, Andrey Rublev, and Casper Ruud at the year-end championships that are due to start from Sunday.
