“My wardrobe was quite weak”- Stefanos Tsitsipas

Notably, he talks about his girlfriend playing a part in redefining his clothing style.

Evidently overwhelmed by his experiment, his love for fashion and style didn’t just end there. “I started investing more in fashion, and I’ve seen that transition kind of benefit me a lot and make me feel better about myself. Things seem to be working my way. If I keep putting in the same amount of work and if I stay persistent, I feel it can lead to a really nice place I haven’t been before,” Stefanos expressed.

What a season so far

In April, he bagged his first ATP Masters 1000 title at Monte-Carlo. He also made world headlines with his noteworthy performance at Roland Garros.

In a display of his sheer bravery, he shocked World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the final of the tournament, winning the first two sets back to back. Courtesy of a Djokovic masterclass, Stefanos lost the game eventually, but he earned himself a dozen more fans, surely.

Stefanos made it to yet another final at the Cincinnati Open 2021, facing gold medalist Alexander Zverev. With the most tour-level wins this year, 48, fans backed him to taste glory. However, he failed to replicate his season-long form and lost a chance of winning another title this year.
