"Unimaginable"! Stefanos Tsitsipas judges win with his little brother Petros one of the most striking wins of his career

Stefanos
Tsitsipas expressed his excitement over the title he won alongside his brother,
Petros Tsitsipas.
The World
No. 7 has experienced some ups and downs on the Tour over the past few months
since winning the Los Cabos Open in early August. Tsitsipas had a special week
at the European Open, showing an improved level that brought him his first
consecutive victories since his triumph in Mexico.
Despite
falling just short of the final in the singles draw after a semifinal loss to
Frenchman Arthur Fils (7-6, 7-6), Tsitsipas managed to clinch the doubles title
alongside his brother Petros. They defeated the pairing of Uruguayan Ariel
Behar and Czech Adam Pavlasek in a hard-fought match that ended 6-7 (5), 6-4,
and 10-8.
While the Greek
duo had previously competed in various tournaments, including Grand Slam
events, they hadn't enjoyed much success. Winning their first title together,
Stefanos Tsitsipas was filled with joy and expressed his happiness at sharing
the title with his brother, Petros.
“There are
certainly a lot of emotions. I must say that I have played a lot of tournaments
in my life, I have won a lot of titles, and I have great memories. But this one
struck me in a different way, and I can say with great confidence that it is
probably one of the most emotional and important moments of my career, even
more than the singles titles,” he said
“Being able
to win with my brother is unimaginable. We were little kids running around
hitting tennis balls and it would never have occurred to us that we would have
the opportunity to play ATP 250, 500 or 1000,” former world No. 3 added.
“I would
like to thank Petros and everyone who made this possible. We have come a long
way and I really hope we can continue to do so. And that we can support each
other in our own way and make this journey a dream,” Tsitsipas concluded.
Tsitsipas'
next challenge will be at the ATP 500 Vienna Open, where he will face the
former US Open champion, Dominic Thiem. Their head-to-head record is currently
tied at 5-5, even though the local tennis player is arriving in Vienna with an
inconsistent form, holding the world No. 99 ranking.
