VIDEO: Wolf leaves Tsitsipas stunned with superb winner

American talent JJ Wolf pulled off a once in a blue moon winner against Stefanos Tsitsipas yesterday before the Greek eventually pulled through to progress in Miami.

The two had already met once before, earlier this year, at the Mexico Open in February, with Tsitsipas winning in dominant fashion 6-1, 6-0. But this time Wolf put up a strong fight to take a set before the world number five pulled away in the third to clinch victory 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1.

That fight from Wolf was exemplified by an extraordinary passing shot deep into the second set. What looked like an impressive left-handed forehand winner initially was hugely elevated by the fact that the 23-year-old does not play left-handed.
