Daniel Altmaier signed a memorable victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open 2025 and wanted to avoid any kind of confrontation with the Greek during the tense handshake at the net. Tsitsipas' complaints were met with indifference from the German, who continued that attitude at the press conference when asked about the situation. His response was reported by the Bounces.
"I know that in the heat of the moment, things can be said that wouldn't normally be said, and then you regret them. I think that's what online discussions are based on. I'm not a fan of them, to be honest. Even if I had lost, I wouldn't have engaged in a verbal exchange because you need to cool down after the match. We'll see if Tsitsipas reconsiders or maintains his opinion. For me, everything is fine. I know what I did is part of the game," he emphasized.
