The story also greatly affected the state of mind of the number 3 tennis player in the world. Stefanos Tsitsipas was shocked by the news that marked Wednesday 1 March especially in Greece: a terrible railway accident between two trains caused over 40 deaths and around 130 injuries.
A massacre to which the player wanted to express his considerations and a very significant message on social media: “My dear Greek friends, Yesterday we woke up to the devastating news of a tragic train accident that left us all shocked and sad.
Our hearts ache for the families and individuals who have lost loved ones in this horrific tragedy. We express our deepest condolences to them and we are in solidarity with them in this difficult momen.” This was what was underlined by the native of Athens, who felt compelled to express his total solidarity with his compatriots for what happened.
Tsitsipas close to his Country
The 24-year-old boy has always shown that he is very attached to the land where he was born. This was further proof: “The loss of innocent lives is never easy to understand or accept, and it is even more painful when it happens in our country.
But in times like these, we need to come together as a nation and support each other. We must remember that we are a strong and resilient people, who have faced many challenges in the past and we will overcome this one too.” Tsitsipas commented, also highlighting some important considerations and launching a kind of appeal to government authorities: “As we mourn the loss of those who died in this tragedy, let’s also take a moment to reflect on the importance of safety measures and regulations.
We must work together to ensure that our transport systems are safe and secure for all citizens. Today we are united as one nation, united in our grief and determined to support each other through this very difficult time.
We honor the memories of those who are lost by uniting in love, compassion and strength. May God bless Greece and its people.”
