Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas is set to follow Marcos Baghdatis footsteps in Melbourne and have a a souvlaki named in his honour for his Australian Open results. The 20-year-old recently named Stalactites in Melbourne as one of his favourite restaurants.
And Stalactites has appreciated his appreciation, saying that his name will be added to the menu if he can reach the Fourth Round at the Australian Open. He is set to play Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili in the third round on Friday.
The restaurant also named a slow-cooked lamb souvlaki after Greek Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis during his fairytale run to the 2006 Australian Open final. Stefanos is a massive sensation and if he does well, wed love to name a souvlaki after him, Stalactites managing director Nicole Papasavas said.
Everyone likes their souvlaki a little bit different so wed ask him what he likes and tailor it to his tastes. Tsitsipas – Greeces highest-ever ranked player – has drawn an amazing support group of blue and white fans at Melbourne Park, alongside compatriot Maria Sakkari, who also has a third-round match on Friday against Ashleigh Barty.
The duo both played on Court 3 on Wednesday, with hundreds of fans in attendance. Having the Greek community is really important, you saw it with Marcos – the best tournament of his life was here and Im pretty sure its all because of the energy of the people and the Greek community in Melbourne, 14th-seed Tsitsipas said.
