After winning the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals, Stefanos Tsitsipas will be playing in the final against Dominic Thiem at the 2019 ATP Finals.

In the semifinals, Tsitsipas defeated Roger Federer 6-3 and 6-4. During the match, he saved a total number of 11 break points what was an important statistics in the match. After the match he said:

“Sometimes in matches like this, you wonder how you overcome all these difficulties, all these break points down. It’s really a mental struggle, so I'm really proud that I managed to save so many break points today,” Tsitsipas said. “I was trying not to give an easy time to Roger. He was playing good and shout out to him as well. He did pretty well this week.”

After winning the match, standing on the court, Tsitsipas commented on his childhood memories.

“I remember myself being one of these kids here, watching the event and… I could never picture myself standing here, but it did happen,” Tsitsipas said. “Dreams do come true.”

“There is so much for me to learn from all these players. Roger, as well,” Tsitsipas said. “I grew up watching Roger as a kid, watching him here at the Nitto ATP Finals, watching him at Wimbledon, playing [tour-level] finals, and wished I could step out on the court one day and face him. Today, I'm here, living the dream.”
