Stefanos Tsitsipas had an extremely challenging first round at the Olympic Games when he was facing Philipp Kohlschreiber. Stefanos was trailing by one break down in the deciding set when he found the strength and the solution to beat the German player.
After the win, Stefanos Tsitsipas becomes the first man representing Greece to win an Olympic singles match since Augustos Zerlandis (Paris Games in 1924).
Stefanos commented:
“Stats are important. It’s a good thing to know that this happened. I’m a person that’s optimistic and I’m a person that wants more. It is an honour. It’s a big move for Greece. It’s a big move for this sport in Greece as well and there’s joy in doing that.”
