VIDEO: Stefanos Tsitsipas Hits a Horrifying Shot as He Tries to Take Out 20-Year-Old Jack Draper With the Ball in a Shock Defeat at the National Bank Open in Montreal

Stefanos Tsitsipas is regarded as one of the brightest stars in the new age of players. However, ever since the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, the Greek player has been known to try and hit at his opponents. Going back to Wimbledon, Tsitsipas made headlines for his attempt at hitting his opponent, Nick Kyrgios.

Currently, at the 2022 Canadian Bank Open, the 23-year-old indulged in a similar incident. Ending his grass season with a third-round loss to Kyrgios, Tsitsipas kicked off his Canadian Open campaign with a first-round clash against Brit, Jack Draper. While fans were enjoying the engaging clash, things turned ugly when the third-seeded Tsitsipas opted to repeat his Wimbledon act, seemingly trying to hit Draper.

Kicking off the match, the players started on a high note. However, being in a dominant position, it was Draper who took an early lead in the set. While Tsitsipas made a decent try on coming back, a 3-1 trail clearly had a frustrating effect on the Greek.

Being on serve, Tsitsipas hit a wide serve on the left-handed Draper’s backhand. With it being a strong serve, Draper just went about returning the ball close to the net. The Greek had an open court to hit a clean smash on the high ball return. However, leaving the entire open court, the Greek opted to take on Draper, standing near the baseline of the alley of the deuce court.

Playing an impressive game, the third seeded managed to make a strong comeback, taking the set to a tiebreaker. Even though both players continued having the same level of competitiveness in the tie breaker, it was Draper who took a step forward, clinching the tiebreaker, 7-4.
