Is there anything stronger than the bond between two brothers?
In the Tsitsipás family, certainly not. In fact, Stéfanos and Petros are like two peas in a pod. We saw it last year: style and class. They are clearly cut from the same cloth.
We are therefore happy and proud that Stéfanos will be playing doubles in this ninth edition of the European Open, in addition to singles. With his brother Petros. As defending champions. As favorites. As brothers who will fight for each other.
Will they be able to repeat last year’s win? In any case, they will give it their all. “Nothing compares to winning a title as brothers. Nothing is more intense,” Stéfanos said after last year’s final. And we all remember that final: fascinating, thrilling, captivating. In three sets, with a super tie-break at the end, the “Tsitsibros” claimed victory by narrowly defeating the Czech-Uruguayan duo Behar-Pavlásek.
This year again, the motivation will be great. Because after the Olympic Games, where they will aim for medals together, they will do everything to add the European Open to their record for the second time.
Watch Stéfanos’s announcement here, where he looks forward to defending his doubles title.
