The 22-year-old Greek star becomes the first from his country to reach a Grand Slam final after a dramatic win.
Stefanos Tsitsipas made history on June 11, 2021, by defeating Alexander Zverev in a thrilling French Open semi-final, earning his place in the final and becoming the first Greek tennis player ever to reach a Grand Slam final. Tsitsipas, 22, triumphed in a five-set battle that saw him initially take control with a 6-3, 6-3 lead before Zverev fought back to win the third and fourth sets.
However, Tsitsipas clinched the match with a final-set victory, proving his resilience and mental toughness. His performance was lauded not only for his on-court skills but also for his humble and likable demeanor in victory. Tsitsipas will now face either Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal in the much-anticipated final.
