WATCH: Stefanos Tsitsipas proves why he is the Greek God
With Stefanos Tsitsipas slowly edging his way to his third consecutive Monte-Carlo Masters title, let’s look back at some of the Greek God’s most sensational shots.
Starting only 14 seconds into the video, Tsitsipas delivers an outstanding dink to see him secure the point and leave the viewers stunned. The commentators could barely voice their feelings about the shot, with nothing more to say than “Oh yes!” and “Wow!”. Certainly, an incredible effort from the Greek star, who celebrates his triumph with his amazed fans.
Diving in at 25 seconds into the video is another outrageous hit from Tsitsipas. The Greek leapt in with total commitment and an outreached racket to secure a well-deserved point. “Oh, no way! No way has he made that… Incredible tennis from the defending champion.” The stunned commentator surely took the words out of all viewers’ mouths because that shot was out of this world.
Tsitsipas is definitely a big fan of soft-handed shots, as he comes into the video at 01:06 to shock his opponent and stun the crowd with a cushioned shot too perfect to counter. “Oh, that is quite extraordinary,” we can definitely agree with the commentator on this one; it was a brilliant shot from a brilliant player.
The Greek star has often been seen rushing around the court to make every shot possible, and in this next shot, he does exactly that.
At 01:18, we see the superstar shine with a superbly executed shot; we must say that his commitment to securing the point did not go unseen. The commentator sums it up perfectly by saying, “Oh, what a dig. How did he make that? Not only did he make the distance, but then what quick thinking with the shot.”

Not only is Tsitsipas a master of attacking strikes, but he is also a master of defending ones. At 01:40, we see a brick wall of an effort from Tsitsipas, with the commentator summing it up beautifully “He shall not be passed. Wow, some Jedi skills over there.” We can all agree that it looks like something straight out of a movie.
Tsitsipas is certainly a flairy player, and at 01:57, he shows us just how flairy he can be with an excellent improvised execution to see out the point.
If those haven’t made you fall in love with him, then surely this shot at 02:11 will. The Greek star shows off his commitment with another diving effort to secure the point and earn a well-deserved standing ovation from the crowd.
Tsitsipas shows off his high levels of determination at 02:34, with a devoted effort to grab a point. Just as the point seemed over, Tsitsipas pulled out all the stops to bring us some exciting viewing that was out of this world. The commentator was left with nothing more to say but “That is tennis nearer the gods,” and now we can finally see why he is called the Greek God.
Tsitsipas ties the video off, at 03:21, in style with a pinpoint shot that left everyone around and in the court in awe of the excellent execution.
