Stefanos Tsitsipas is a player who is currently on fire. The former World No. 3 has beaten several opponents back-to-back in the Monte-Carlo Masters, turning his bad luck around. Guided by his family and his supporters, Stefanos looks to improve his year even further. Not only this, the highest-ranked Greek player is also uplifted by his siblings, particularly his youngest sister, Elisavet. She is not only the   darling of the Tsitsipas household but also holds the passion for tennis.

Like several Greek families around the world, Stefanos has many siblings. He was the first one to learn tennis and, for now, the only one who has made it so far. But he is not alone, as his sister, Elisavet Tsitsipa is also adept in the sport.

Elisavet Tsitsipa is the pride of the Tsitsipas family. The brother-sister combo has a close bond, as seen in a video posted by Tsitsipas on social media. During the 2020 lockdown, Tsitsipas revealed his training approach, which involved his sister. Stefanos was seen carrying his sister and performing squats, a challenge set by his Davis Cup teammate Michail Pervolarakis.

Not only does Stefanos look after his sister, but he also finds motivation when watching her. In 2019, Tsitsipas shared on his ‘X’ page, “My 12 year-old sister inspires me every single day.She aimed to become a tennis player and has participated in two ITF tournaments so far.

Stefanos second brother, Pavlos Tsitsipas, who was born on July 23, 2005, has yet to join his older brothers in the professional ranks. Pavlos set a career-high in the ITF Junior Ranking on March 27, 2023, with 504. In 2023, he had a win rate of 57%, with 8-6 win-loss record. Pavlos surely had a breakout year in 2022. With a 70% win rate on hard surfaces, he has a better record than clay. Pavlos, unlike his siblings, has decided to stay away from social media.

The Tsitsipas family has shown their tennis prowess, and the three brothers continue to compete in the ATP. However, there is no record of Elisavet and no source which says whether she will continue playing with them.
