Stefanos Tsitsipas Being Honored.

Melbourne Greek restaurant institution ‘Stalactites’ has been reveling in the success of its Hellenic heroes – Stefanos Tsitsipas and Marcos Baghdatis – during the Australian Open and in previous years have even created special souvlakis in their name.

On Friday 17 January, Tsitsipas greeted media and joined the team in the Stalactites kitchen to prepare his ‘Tsitsipas Souvlaki’ to raise awareness of the new collaboration in light of the recent Australian bushfires.

In 2006, Marcos Baghdatis, a regular customer of the restaurant, made the final against Roger Federer and the restaurant created the ‘Baghdatis Souvlaki’ and then followed suit during Stefanos Tsitsipas’ dream AO run in 2019 – who also lists Stalactites as amongst his Melbourne favourites.
