Tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has been hilariously accused of using ChatGPT to write a congratulatory message to Novak Djokovic after the latter’s French Open triumph.
Djokovic beat Casper Ruud 7-6 (7-1), 6-3, 7-5 to claim a record-breaking 23rd men’s grand slam title and also become the oldest champion at Roland Garros.

The Serbian superstar’s triumph reignited debate as to who is the greatest of all time in men’s tennis given Djokovic now sits clear ahead of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer when it comes to grand slam victories.
Praise from all corners of the sporting world poured in for Djokovic after his victory, but it was Tsitsipas’ message that has perhaps made more waves than anyone else’s.
“@DjokerNole, you’ve touched hearts with your unwavering spirit and strong determination,” Tsitsipas wrote on Twitter.

“Your ability to bounce back from challenges has become a symbol of hope for fans around the world.
“Thank you for showing us that with hard work and passion, dreams can become a reality.”
It was a touching message from the world No. 5, who was sent packing from Roland Garros after a straight-sets loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.
However, a Twitter user by the name of @ItzzZain10 proved Tsitsipas had some assistance when deciding how to congratulate Djokovic.
Tsitsipas’ note is an exact copy of a congratulatory message template from ChatGPT, proving even superstars of the sporting world aren’t afraid of leaning on the tool when needed.
