All in a joking tone and with laughter, Maria Sakkari and Stefanos Tsitsipas were taking part in a game at this United Cup 2025. The Greek player asked her partner which shot of hers he wouldn't take, to which Tsitsipas replied that he wouldn't take her serve, as he was very happy with his own service. What Stefanos didn't expect was Maria's response: "I wouldn't want to have your backhand, sorry".
