ATP Legend Confesses on Idolising Kylian Mbappe – “He Truly is an Icon”

Kylian Mbappe made an indelible mark on his remarkable career with PSG. The Frenchman’s heroics, both in domestic and international fixtures, played a pivotal role in securing vital outcomes over the seasons. Recently, an ATP star highly regarded Mbappe for achieving significant heights in the early stage of his career.

The PSG star is in exceptional form this season, scoring goals in consecutive games. He made his presence felt in the triumph over his former club Monaco in the Ligue 1 tie. Consequently, Mbappe’s excellence in the field has inspired this generation that transcended beyond the soccer dynamics.

What did the ATP icon remark about Kylian Mbappe?

Stefanos Tsitsipas, the tennis sensation, has emerged as one of the most accomplished players in recent years. The Greek star secured 10 ATP singles titles. He ranks 6th in the world as per the Association of Tennis Professionals. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old star expresses admiration for Kylian Mbappe’s influence on the soccer pitch that encouraged him to improve his gameplay over the course of the seasons.

Stefanos Tsitsipas considers the Parisian star the best sportsman for his scoring prowess, having scored 278 goals. Moreover, Stefanos Tsitsipas was born in the same year as the French star in 1998, which fueled his interest in Mbappe’s illustrious career.

The tennis star said in an interview, “We’re born the same year with him. I am looking up at him. I can consider him now one of my sports idols. I am not ashamed to say that because he truly is an icon. I really admire his style, his personality, and his very interesting character in football. ”

Apparently, the PSG star has 6 Ligue 1 titles as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup in his trophy cabinet, which underscores the impact he demonstrated over the years. The French icon continues to persist in delivering his emphatic performances in the recent Ligue 1 fixtures.

The French star has no intentions to stop this season

Mbappe has already scored 14 goals in 13 games with PSG in the league this season. He netted an ecstatic hat trick against Reims and contributed a goal in the 5-2 thrashing over Monaco. The Frenchman also provided an assist to Vitinha, who curled a strike in the top corner in the closing minutes of the game. Consequently, PSG stands at the top of the Ligue 1, with a one-point lead over Nice.

However, Kylian Mbappe is yet to emulate such form in the Champions League. He scored just two goals in four matches in UCL. PSG did not secure their qualification spot to date after losing their previous match against AC Milan with a 2-1 scoreline. As a result, the Parisians aim to turn their fate in the Champions League when they take on Newcastle United this Tuesday, following a loss in the away leg of this encounter.
