Crazy! Tsitsipas with an amazing winner
Stefanos Tsitsipas probably hit the shot of the tournament in the first round of the Australian Open. The Greek himself can hardly believe it.
The first round of the Australian Open isn’t even over yet, and the shot of the tournament has already been played! Because Stefanos Tsitsipas achieved a crazy winner in his opening match and victory against the Belgian Zizou Bergs.

With the score at 5:7, 1:0 and Tsitsipa’s advantage when the Belgian served, an unbelievable scene unfolded. When attacking the net, Bergs didn’t catch the ball properly, so it bounced back over the net after it bounced.
Everything looked like a sure winner for the outsider, who would have fended off the break point. But then Tsitsipas stormed forward, reached over the net with his racket and scored the winner. The star also managed not to touch the net with his body. Break!

Bergs could hardly believe it and looked at the referee in surprise. But everything was according to the rules.

Rule 24 of the International Competition Rules states: “Your racket may cross the net as long as it does not touch it. That doesn’t mean you can just reach over the net to hit balls before they come to your side. Before you can hit a ball like this, the ball must first get over the net to your side of the court.”
Tsitsipas amazed by himself
All of this was true for Tsitsipas. Curious: With this miracle strike he turned the match around and was unstoppable afterwards. In the end he won confidently with 5:7, 6:1, 6:1, 6:3.
“That shot was extraordinary. I don’t know how I even managed it,” said the world number seven afterwards.

“When he hit the underspin volley, for a split second I thought that was it, I have to prepare for the next point. But I think I didn’t want to give up and just tried,” added the Greek.
The Greek once again emphasized the significance of the blow: “That turned the match around at this special moment.”
