Stefanos tsitsipas overwhelmingly backed for grand slam glory

Stefanos Tsitsipas has been overwhelmingly backed by _Express Sport_ readers to win a Grand Slam title after coming up short against Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final last month.

The Greek ace reached his second Major final Down Under but couldn’t topple Djokovic, who drew level with Rafael Nadal at the top of the men’s Grand Slam all-time title standings courtesy of

a 22nd triumph. Tsitsipas has become one of the best tennis players in the world in recent years and progressed to the final of the French Open in 2021, before succumbing to Djokovic

despite taking a two-set lead. The 24-year-old has especially excelled at the Australian Open and reached his first final Down Under this year after exiting the tournament at the semi-final

stage on three occasions. But the player was no match for his Serbian opponent as Djokovic won 6-3 7-6 7-6. Tsitsipas has risen to No 3 in the world following his endeavours, however, and

will now have his sights on winning his maiden Grand Slam title later this year. According to our readers, Tsitsipas has all the attributes to succeed at the very top of the game as a

staggering 83.5 per cent of the 10,515 people who took our poll are confident that he will win at least one Grand Slam during his career. MUST READ: SERENA WILLIAMS 'NOT HAPPY'
