Stefanos Tsitsipas enjoys a stellar reputation in his home nation. His ranking of No. 3 in the world make him the highest-ranked Greek player in history.

One of the biggest weapons in the Greek star’s favour is his ability to hit powerful groundstroke winners as well as a supremely strong forehand. The latter enables Tsitsipas to finish points off of the first serve.
