The governing body of men’s tennis has shared a video on its Twitter page, bringing out a remarkable piece of action from Stefanos Tsitsipas this year. 

ATP clip features stunning backhand winner by Stefanos Tsitsipas

The clip is from a doubles encounter at ATP Cup in Brisbane. It featured Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas and his Cypriot partner Michail Perrvolarakis against German Kevin Krawietz and compatriot Andreas Mies. 

The moment features Tsitsipas reaching for an overhead smash and producing an incredible backhand winner.

While the shot itself is breathtaking, what is even more sensational is the way the long-haired Tsitsipas shows remarkable agility, for someone of his height, to reach the ball.

Tsitsipas and Cypriot partner lost the match in question

The ATP posted a message along with the video, which aptly says, “The shots that made our jaws drop. Relive the most bizarre and brilliant moments from this season!”

That piece of action was one of many moments in that group stage encounter at the Pat Rafter Arena that made the crowds go ‘wow’ and erupt in applause.
