19-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas has been on a tear and just knocked out an in-form Novak Djokovic at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, Canada. Witness Novak getting out-hit by the youngster and beaten 6-3 6-7(5) 6-3.
Tsitsipas hits a clean and steady one-handed backhand and wields a versatile forehand delivered by with a compact stroke. He opened the court with the forehand quite frequently and was able to handle the heavy balls Djokovic sent his way. Most impressively, he kept his nerve through the final games and closed it out without a hitch. The way he goes for the winner on match point indicated his level of confidence and lack of nerves.
A well played match that surely left Djokovic itching for a rematch.
