2019 ATP YEC: Tsitsipas Wins Biggest Title Of His Young Career
Surprising many, Stefanos Tsitsipas finished his breakout 2019 season by coming from behind to win his first ATP Tour Finals title over Dominic Thiem 6-7(6) 6-2 7-6(4). The 21-year-old Greek player is the youngest player to win the year-end tour championship since Lleyton Hewitt in 2001 and the seventh player to win it in his tournament debut (Grigor Dimitrov did that in 2017).
Tisitsipas finished the year with wins over every member of the top 10, including the big 3: Nadal, Djokovic and Federer.
