In a historic win last Friday, Stefanos Tsitsipas became the first Greek player to reach a Grand Slam final defeating his German opponent. The Greek star took Alexander Zverev down in five exhausting sets at the French Open..
Fifth-seed Tsitsipas won 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 catapulting himself into the finals where he is set to face the world’s number one, Novak Djokovic.
If Djokovic wins, it will be his be 19th time, being crowned Grand Slam champion, however, is he able to recover from a heated, equally epic semi-final with Rafael Nadal? Should Tsitsipas win, his total score will grow by 800 points.
A week ago in Rome, 22-year-old Tsitsipas led ahead of Djokovic, but lost his focus in the final three games, allowing the Serb to win. Even though he did not put 34-year-old Djokovic away, Tsitsipas showed the world that he has what it takes to climb to the top and inflict great damage to his opponent.
The stage is set for the world’s number one and fifth-seed Tsitsipas to write another chapter in tennis history tonight.
