The Greek player’s battles against his sporting idol

Throughout his career, Stefanos Tsitsipas has competed against the former world No.1 six times. In 2019, at the Hopman Cup, they faced each other for the first time. Federer was victorious over him in a match that was completed in straight sets. The twenty-time Grand Slam champion was defeated by the Greek tennis star in their rematch barely two weeks later at the Australian Open. This match was the second time the two stars had competed against one other.

In the same year, Federer prevailed against Tsitsipas in the final in Dubai. However, after that, the young Greek player bounced back and defeated his childhood hero in the ATP Masters 1000 tournament held in Rome, Italy.
