The Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas won the ATP 2019 Masters final on Sunday in London against Dominic Thiem.
Twelve months after Alexander Zverev, it is the turn of Stefanos Tsitsipas to show that the new generation, despite failing to win a Grand Slam, knows how to do it in terms of Masters. At 21 years and 3 months, the Greek won in London the most prestigious title of his career beating Dominic Thiem, 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-6 (4), after a very technical and mental fight which last two hours and thirty-five minutes.
We have to go 18 years back to find traces of a Masters winner younger than Tsitsipas (21). In 2001, Lleyton Hewitt won at age 20, dominating Sebastien Grosjean in the final.
Tsitsipas was the most stable player in the final. Of all the opponents of the trio Federer-Nadal-Djokovic, he is now the most creative and the most offensive.
