Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended the last season in the best possible way after winning the ATP Finals. Following his recent run at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship, the Greek is one of the key favorites to win the upcoming Australian Open.
The Stefanos looked extremely sharp during the exhibition in Abu Dhabi that was played with an extremely strong fighting spirit by all the competitors. After beating Andrey Rublev in the opening match 6-3 6-4, Stefanos defeated Djokovic 3-6 7-6 (4) 6-4 before losing the final against an inspired Rafael Nadal 6-7 (3) 7-5 7-6 (3).
The Greek impressed not only for his tennis, but also for the fact that he looked completely confident when playing at the same level as the top 2 players in the world.
Tsitsipas’ odds to win the Australian Open
Stefanos’ performance didn’t go unnoticed by top betting companies and bet365 “upgraded” the Greek to be the favorite no.3 giving the same odds as the ones given to the great Roger Federer and Daniil Medvedev (11). Novak Djokovic (2.62) and Rafael Nadal (4.50) are still considered in pole position. Tsitsipas has recently stated that he wants to win a slam in 2020. He reached the semifinal last year in Melbourne and he needs to go “just” to steps further to conquer his maiden major. The problem is that “just.” However, he has the tennis and the confidence to fulfill his dream next near.
