The Boodles favourite Stefanos Tsitsipas has firmly established himself at the top of the tennis world. Having reached a career-high ranking of No.3 in August 2019 he continues to leave his mark reaching two Grand Slam Finals; Roland Garros 2021 and the Australian Open 2023.
Born in Athens, Tsitsipas started playing tennis at the age of 3. He turned professional in 2016, aged only 18, following in the footsteps of his mother, Julia Salnikova, who was also a professional tennis player.
He has won 9 ATP Tour titles, including back-to-back titles at the 2021 and 2022 ATP Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo.
The Greek superstar has a flamboyant, attacking game style and a single-handed backhand to die for. With his flowing locks he cuts a dashing on-court figure.
Off the court, Tsitsipas is known for his love of photography and film-making. He has his own YouTube channel ‘StefanosTsitsipas’ where he shares videos of his travels and experiences on tour and produces a podcast ‘A Greek Abroad’.
A true star of men’s tennis we are delighted to welcome him back to The Boodles.
