Stephanos Chitsipas wrote the history of the Stockholm tournament. In the Latvian Ernst Gubbis final with 6-4, 6-4, he became the first Greek tennis player to win the professional ATP tournament. For the 20-year-old Greek champion, ranked 16th in the world, it was his third final of the year. However, he did not manage to get his first title, neither in Barcelona nor in Toronto, because Raffa Nadal was revealed to be an insurmountable obstacle.
"It was amazing to go out and do my best game this week, it was something else, I had all the fans, the Stockholm expats, who supported me throughout this great trip – because it was a trip, they helped me in all my struggles, they gave me strength and energy, "said Stephan Tsitsipas for his success, adding," Overall, I really enjoyed it, it's one of the few times I really enjoyed playing at one stage and I felt a very special feeling when I held this trophy at the end of the race. It is of great value. "
The Greek champion received congratulations from Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who said in a social media release: "Congratulations, Stefane, for winning the trophy at the Oppen Stockholm final. which we are proud of, "said Tsitsyapa:" Thank you very much, a day that will surely be memorable. "
Thanks to his success in Sweden, Tsitsypas is hoping to replace the last tournament of the year in November in London, where the eight best tennis players in the world can play this season. In women, Maria Sakkari has won four positions and is now the 41st world. Valentin Grammatikoopoulos came in 169th place.
