Greek tennis player Petros Tsitsipas sent a cheeky request to Aston Villa Women star Alisha Lehmann on Instagram after spotting her playing tennis.

Lehmann was away on international duty with Switzerland Women and took the time to flex her tennis skills on the court, which she shared with her legion of Instagram followers.

The 24-year-old Aston Villa forward posted photos of herself and Switzerland teammates Geraldine Reuteler and Rachel Rinast posing with tennis racquets.

Lehmann, who boasts a staggering 11.8 million Instagram followers, caught the eye of the 22-year-old Tsitsipas with her social media post.

“Let’s play Mixed [sic]?” Tsitsipas wrote to Lehmann in the comments, adding a tennis ball emoji and eyes emoji.

Aston Villa star Lehmann acknowledged Tsitsipas’ post and responded by accepting his invitation for a mixed double match.

“Let’s go,” she responded, adding a laughing face emoji and a tennis ball emoji.

Lehmann, who previously played for West Ham Women and Everton Women, has captured a large following on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

The Switzerland international has insisted that she is more than a social media personality and believes she can use her platform to help promote women’s football.

“England probably is the picture everyone should look at because I don’t think in other countries it increased that much,” Lehmann told talkSPORT.

“In Switzerland, for example, everyone’s still working, 90 per cent probably still work.

“I don’t think you can compare like anything between women’s and men’s football because it’s just so different how people look at us and how people look at them.

“It’s just not the same. Women’s football is always second-class. I don’t think you’ll ever be first class because I think a lot of people still think that men’s football is the first priority.

“They don’t think about women’s football and I think that’s a big problem. Now social media is really helpful because people actually see, oh, we play football, we can play football.”
