Tall, powerful and blessed with an abundance of elegant athleticism, Stefanos Tsitsipas is one player who inspires memories of the great Roger Federer. It’s not just the smooth one-handed backhand that the Greek possesses, it is also his net-rushing instincts, his deft volleys and his capacity to make the first strike in rallies.
Tsitsipas, aka the “El Greco”, plays an aesthetically pleasing brand of tennis that has captivated the public’s imagination ever since he hit the tour as a teenager. There is swagger in his game, and his fiery intensity lets fans know just how invested he is in his tennis.
