Stefanos Tsitsipas fined after car clocked at 210 km/h in Athens

·

Stefanos Tsitsipas has been fined €2,000 and had his driving licence revoked for a year after his car was recorded travelling at 210 km/h on Athens’ Attiki Odos.

His lawyer claims the tennis star was not driving at the time and had lent the vehicle to a third party, whose identity has not been disclosed.

The offence was detected by Greece’s newly installed digital speed cameras, making Tsitsipas one of the first to be penalised under the system.

The 27-year-old, currently ranked 34th in the world, has struggled for form since reaching a career-high of No. 3.
