Sportsmen all around the world are not only known for their performances but are also responsible for influencing the next generation of players as well. This is what players like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic have done in their careers and inspired a lot of people to follow the right direction to succeed in their lives. This is why they have to be careful about what they put out and how they display themselves in the eyes of the public.
Apart from the big three one of the most popular figures in tennis is the Greek God Stefanos Tsitsipas. The 25-year-old number 11 ranked player is one of the most popular figures in the game who has won 11 career singles titles and has played 2 Grand Slam finals. There is no doubt that he is still remembered as one of the strongest competitors in the game who has beaten some of the best players in the world.
Tsitsipas story gets mixed response
Though Tsitsipas is still playing in some tournaments during the Grass season, he recently posted a story on social media that had a video talking about marriage and the roles of a man and a woman. Though it seemed like a sweet video about how a married couple lives, some people thought that the video was slightly misogynistic in its concept of how a married couple should live their life. There is a mixed reception to this video which has started a debate among people on whether this video was appropriate or just showing the regressive roles of both individuals in a relationship.

There might be some statements in this video that are quite generic on what the roles of both men and women are, but the famous athlete has in no way degraded men or women in the video. It honestly looked like a video that might have had its heart in the right place, but the message came out differently toward the people who didn't support the generic role of women in society in the modern generation.
Here's how the fans have reacted-
First time I like what Tsitsipas has posted.

A couple who happily come together to complement each other and create a secure world to bring up children is a beautiful thing.
Disgusting?
Not in the slightest.
This is a bad look for Tsitsipas. Glad he deleted it. Hope he actually does not think that women & men cannot exist & play all kinds of roles in society. Stef needs to be called out on it & fans like me are all doing so. But I also wish @Olly_Tennis_ that you could have had the…

If this is what Stefanos believes, how does he reconcile it with his girlfriend’s occupation?
