ChatGPT is serving up a spot-on takedown of Stefanos Tsitsipas!

The world No. 11 tennis playershared in a post on X(formerly Twitter) on Monday, Aug. 19 that he asked the AI technology to “roast” him — and the chatbot seemingly aced the assignment.

“Stefanos Tsitsipas: the guy who spends more time philosophizing on Twitter than actually serving up a solid second serve,” ChatGPT returned. “He’s the only player who can turn a simple changeover into a TED Talk on Greek mythology and still come back to the court with his shoelaces untied.”

Yet ChatGPT did include one positive detail about the 26-year-old’s game: his appearance.

“But hey, at least his hair game is winning,” the chatbot trolled, “even if his forehand occasionally forgets what direction it’s supposed to go.”

For Tsitsipas, 2024 has had its ups and downs — both on and off the court.

After briefly breaking up with fellow tennis player Paula Badosa, the Greek athlete spoke out about rekindling their romance, just in time for them to play mixed doubles together at the French Open in May.

“It was hard for us being apart and I was going through some hard times too, Tsitsipastold Tennis.com. “I would say that I didn’t manage it very well either, because I was feeling the pressure of the tour, of my work. It seemed like a mountain to combine these two, and I made the decision to take a break.”

But, after “two, three weeks,” the duo connected again.

On Monday, Tsitsipas revealed on his Instagram Stories that he landed in New York City ahead of the start of the 2024 US Open, which officially begins with the men’s and women’s singles first round on Monday, Aug. 26 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. Last year, the player was knocked out in the second round.
