Conclusive explanation: Stefanos Tsitsipas makes it clear who is the GOAT of tennis for him

Dominic Thiem will meet Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round of the Masters tournament in Madrid on Saturday. The Greek is currently number five in the tennis world and is therefore the clear favorite in the ninth duel between the two top players. In “Head to Head” the Austrian still leads 5:3. The last duel was in 2020 at the ATP Finals in London – Thiem still had the upper hand in three sets.

The 24-year-old’s answer reads interestingly and is also a rejection of Novak Djokovic: “For me, the GOAT is not the one who has won the most tournaments or the most Grand Slams or the most matches,” says Helene.
