US Open: Tsitsipas Last Hope To Preserve 150-year-old Grand Slam One-handed Record
When Stefanos Tsitsipas: When Stefanos Tsitsipas steps onto Arthur Ashe Stadium in the early hours of Monday (as per IST), the Greek tennis star will be playing not only for a place in the quarterfinals but also for a 150-year-old tennis record.
Tsitsipas, who has been on a resurgence at Majors, will face eighth-seed American Ben Shelton in the round of 16 as the two gear up for what is promised to be a fascinating contest in the Big Apple. =
The Greek will not only fight to keep his best run at the US Open going, but also look to keep the record intact for one of the most iconic shots: one-handed backhand. He remains the only man with a one-handed backhand remaining at Flushing Meadows, and he has to make it to the semifinals in New York if he wants to keep the 150-year legacy going.
