Stefanos Tsitsipas is putting Greece on the tennis map, and he is making his compatriots extremely proud of him.

The upcoming Greek has won his 1st ATP title in Stockholm after defeating Ernests Gulbis in straight sets and following a great week that saw the 20-year-old dropping only 1 set in 4 matches.

After his triumph, Stefanos received the congratulations from all over the world, but one was particularly special because it came from his Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

What Alexis Tsipras wrote

The Greek Prime Minister posted the following tweet (translated)

Warm congratulations @StefTsitsipas, Stefanos for winning the trophy in the Stockholm Open final. A historic success that makes us proud! #sthlmopen

There is not much time to celebrate as the Greek sensation has to face Jeremy Chardy in his opener in Basel. Another week, another life!
