Stefanos Tsitsipas’ passion and drive have made him one of the most feared competitors on the ATP Tour, yet the World No. 5 is also renowned for his relaxed off-court demeanour. This is clearly reflected in the 23-year-old’s Twitter feed, where he regularly shares a mixture of humorous, philosophical, and heart-warming messages.
“They are mostly meant to be fun,” Tsitsipas recently told ATPTour.com. “It’s like I have a wall and I write different things, and people can say their stuff. It’s just such a fun thing to do.

Yet the Greek showed no signs of rustiness on his return, representing Team Greece at the ATP Cup before storming to a fifth Grand Slam semi-final at the Australian Open. While Down Under, Tsitsipas familiarised himself with some the country’s renowned wildlife, and one creature in particular caught his eye.
“There was a conversation going on about the beautiful animals in Australia,” Tsitispas…
