'Tell Him To Stop...': Stefanos Tsitsipas Shares Hilarious Taxi Driver Encounter Mocking His Bathroom Break Saga Amid US Open

Stefanos Tsitsipas has once again showcased his humorous side during the US Open, this time joking about his infamous bathroom break saga. The Greek tennis star shared a fictional encounter with a New York taxi driver on social media, turning the ongoing controversy into a comical anecdote. "Taxi driver in New York asked me if I knew Stefanos Tsitsipas," he wrote.

"I said, 'We’re very close.' He said, 'Good. Tell him to stop taking bathroom breaks like he’s searching for Narnia.' I pulled my hood up and pretended I was a tourist from Oslo." The taxi driver's quip at Tsitsipas' expense gained traction online as bathroom breaks have been a persistent talking point surrounding the player, especially following his 2021 US Open performance.

Critics, including Andy Murray, questioned the length of Tsitsipas' breaks, which he defended as being in accordance with the rules. Tsitsipas' latest jest came during his 2026 US Open campaign, where he managed to reach the fourth round for the first time at Flushing Meadows. However, his progress was cut short by American Ben Shelton, who defeated him 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium and advanced to the quarter-finals.

Despite the setback, Tsitsipas didn't hesitate to dish out some self-deprecating humor. His "Narnia" reference playfully alluded to a long-standing controversy that has followed him in his tennis career, demonstrating that the Greek athlete can find amusement in one of the more peculiar chapters of his journey.
