The Greek player, who was the the number three seed, insists he did nothing wrong and suggested that fans nowadays are ‘impatient’.
“I know all of these things have been against me for no reason, I took my toilet break as a normal athlete,” he continued. “Might have taken a bit longer than other athletes.
“But if there is a rule that says there’s a specific amount of time that you are allowed to take, then I would probably try and follow that protocol, that rule, and stay within the guidelines and try and follow it as much as possible.
“But I feel like people, they don’t understand. They are here for the show. They want to watch tennis. They’re very impatient, especially the new generation. They just want to get it done quick.
