Stefanos Tsitsipas is about to start his campaign at the US Open. This is going to be a very important major for the Greek sensation who has the opportunity to become the world number 1 if he reaches the final (depending on the results of the other players).
Stefanos decided to have a practice session with American rising star Ben Shelton playing some points. Both looked in great shape. Here is the video.
