The 21-year-old Greek has exceeded expectations in each of his campaigns, shooting up to No 6 in the world rankings and ending 2019 by winning the coveted ATP Finals crown. Tsitsipas broke into the top 50 in 2018, winning his first ATP title and finishing the year with the NextGen trophy. He topped that in 2019 by reaching the Australian Open semifinals and winning three more titles, including the ATP Finals.“But it is not a matter of life or death for me. My goals are to win a Grand Slam title, finish inside the top three by the end of the year, qualify for the ATP Finals again and win a Masters 1000.
That defeat will no doubt serve as a warning that the 20-year-old Canadian left-hander is also one to reckon with after leading his country to the Davis Cup final in 2019 and also winning his first title in Stockholm.
