Stefanos Tsitsipas has a great career ahead of him. He is already one of the best tennis professionals alongside Alexander Zverev and Rafael Nadal. But the profit alone does not appeal to him. For this he likes to put the tennis racket down.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the most promising tennis hopes of his generation. He moves impulsively and skillfully across the tennis court – always with the aim of winning. What if your career takes a turn for the worse? The Greek already has a plan B for this, but from the beginning.
Stefanos Tsitsipas was already on the court as a child
Stefanos Tsitsipas was born on August 12th, 1998. At the age of three he was already on the court with a tennis racket. Later he didn’t let go of it and made it clear: I want to play tennis. His father Apostolos Tsitsipas supported him as his personal trainer. He still trains his son to this day.

The hard training pays off. In 2018 he was named “Most Improved Player of the year”. A year later he reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open 2019, but had to admit defeat to Rafael Nadal. But in the same year he was finally able to win the ATP Finals in London after he even defeated Roger Federer. “I think I’m close to being crowned a Grand Slam champion. I know that these are big words. But I am convinced that I belong there,” the “tennis magazine” quotes him. I measure myself against the best players in the world and I feel that the effort I put in deserves such a result. “
Because of Sonnyboy! Stefanos Tsitsipas freaks out and attacks father
Ever since Stefanos Tsitsipas celebrated success, he has also been in public. The sun boy often comes across as polite and carefree at tournaments. But he can do it differently. At the ATP Cup in Australia, Nick Kyrgios made the first set in the tie-break and Tsisipas freaked out. He ran his bat to the bench where his father was sitting and hit the bench next to him. He missed him. His mother tried to calm him down, but he pulled back and injured his father with a blow on the arm. He was cautioned for this.

Alexander Zverev can’t suffer from Stefanos Tsitsipas
Apropos, Wut. Alexander Zverev and he will probably no longer be friends. It has to do with a toilet dilemma. Because Stefanos Tsitsipas likes to spend long periods of time in the quiet place while playing tennis. The half-Russian doesn’t like that at all.

Stefanos Tsitsipas in private: His girlfriend changed him
In his private life, Stefanos Tsitsipas seem to be the exact opposite of his public freaking out. He’s finally grown up, as he once confessed to Vogue. His friend Theodora Petalas helped him with this process. She also turned him into a fashion-conscious man who has finally found the balance in his life.
They both met in New York. “We had known each other for three years through family friends. The first time we met in New York and I liked them very much, but I was shy at the time and didn’t show my feelings,” the Tsitsipas is quoted by “EssentiallySports”. He overcame himself in 2019 and asked her out on a date. The rest is history.
Already knew? Stefanos Tsitsipas does this in his free time
Did Theodora also inspire his hobby? If you study your Instagram profile diligently, you will not only see him there with his brothers and sister, at funny sign campaigns or on the beach. Rather, he likes to go on a discovery tour with his camera. He shows his impressions under his pseudonym “Steve The Hawk” on his second Instagram account. His picturesque photos have also impressed advertisers. He was booked during the corona pandemic. “I’ve sold some of my photos. I’ve worked for some clients or small businesses and companies, of course when I have free time. I don’t do that before my tennis.”
Stefanos Tsitsipas is a successful YouTuber
He also vlogs successfully. On his YouTube-Kanal does it show itself apart from the tennis games or shows the beauty of Iceland. For him it’s more than a hobby. It is his balance to sport. Who knows, maybe he’ll soon put the bat down and just shoot videos? Not that fast, of course, but photography is his “plan B”.
