ATP clip features stunning backhand winner by Stefanos Tsitsipas

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.
