"Daniel Altmaier had nothing more to say. Moments after one of the biggest wins of his career, the German unwittingly found himself on the receiving end of Stefanos Tsitsipas's ire during their handshake at the net. Before Tsitsipas could finish, though, Altmaier had walked away from the net and he refused to engage in the Greek's attempts to argue with him."
"Altmaier shrugs at the first mention of the incident: Even if I would have lost, I would not enter discussions because it's just like heat of the moment. You need to cool down; let's see if he reacts to it or he sticks to his opinion while cooling down on an exercise bike in the player gym late at night."
Daniel Altmaier refused to engage when Stefanos Tsitsipas confronted him at the net after Altmaier's upset win, walking away during Tsitsipas's attempted argument. Altmaier stated he would not enter discussions even if he had lost, emphasizing the need to cool down and suggesting Tsitsipas might reconsider his stance later. The tournament in New York experienced numerous outbursts of anger and frustration from players throughout the week. Daniil Medvedev berated an umpire and incited a prolonged crowd protest during a first-round match. Jelena Ostapenko erupted after a second-round loss, and Taylor Townsend reported verbal insults from Ostapenko. Tsitsipas also issued a terse warning to Altmaier about future serves.
