Stefanos Tsitsipas explains the meaning behind the Greek flag

Stefanos Tsitsipas, who with a victory against Mansouri sent Greece to the promotion playoffs of the Davis Cup in Tunisia, published on social media a video of the Greek team’s celebrations.

At the same time, he explained to his followers the definition of the word pride, as well as the meaning of the Greek flag.

“περηφάνεια (pride) (n.) a deep feeling of one’s own dignity, importance, history, heritage and roots. Let’s go HELLAS,” he tweeted.

“Greece’s flag has nine stripes for the nine syllables in a Greek phrase meaning, “Freedom or Death”. The blue colour represents the sea, and the white represents the waves,” added on Twitter.
