Incredible scene unfolds at the Madrid Open as Tsitsipas completes dramatic comeback

Stefanos Tsitsipas didn’t realize he had won, and when he finally did, he got up to shake hands with his German opponent

Newsroom April 27 09:23

Stefanos Tsitsipas claimed a stunning 2-1 victory over German opponent Jan-Lennard Struff, but not without a moment of confusion. After winning the final point of the third set and the match, Tsitsipas was unaware that the game had concluded and rushed to take a seat in his chair.

It wasn’t until he heard the crowd cheering and saw Struff approaching him to shake hands that he realized he was the winner.
