Tsitsipas Beats Thiem To Win Maiden ATP Finals Title! | Nitto ATP Finals 2019 Final Highlights

Anthony Hirsch:

Fantastic match. Such a fitting way to end this amazing season of tennis that we have seen. And it is also a fitting last match before the 2020s decade as I am sure that throughout this next decade, Thiem and Tsitsipas are gonna win a lot of big tournaments. Two superb players, and I am more impressed with Tsitsipas every time I watch him. Definitely a very special player with extraordinary potential.

Tee Emm:

Two one-handers. Two great competitors. Two great guys. Hell of a match gents.

warrenguy76:

Neo:

Biggest victory from this tournament, is for one handed backhanders. And Tsitsipas is blessed with a magical one. Reliability of Stan and versatility of Federer. Long live 1-H backhanders!

Nikos Kostis:

Greece is very proud Στέφανε!! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

David Neuhoff:

In my opinion 2019 was definitely the best tennis year in the last 3 or 4 years

Daniela M.:

Tsitsipas became the… seventh player in history to win the ATP Finals at the first appearance:
The other six were:Grigor Dimitrov - 2017/Alex Corretja - 1998/John McEnroe - 1978/Guillermo Vilas - 1974/Ilie Nastase - 1971/Stan Smith - 1970
He is also the youngest ATP finals champion since Hewitt in 2001.
This guy's accomplishments never seem to stop ...and he’s only 21 yo!!

Vasilije Djukic:

Great tennis from these two amazing future great champions! Thank you

connorism6:

The two best players of the next generation playing one of the best matches of the season. Congratulations to Tsitsipas, but also to Thiem. Keep it up!

Helen Ivanic:

2018: NextGen ATP champion
2019: Nitto ATP champion
1st Greek to win one of these.
Congrats Stefanos, you’ve earned it.

Mystik Spiral:

Absolutely fantastic! Great game, entertaining and very fought. Congratulations Stefanos!

Qasim Arshad:

Ah man I really wanted Dominic to win so he would have been the tour leader with 6 titles but can’t complain because Stefanos played an amazing tournament from start to finish & deserves it too. Excited about these two leading the game soon!

Frank G.:

Great match, it came down to a couple of missed forehands by Thiem in the end. Well done Tsi!

Oliver Juria:

I guessed it exactly right, 3 sets win for Tsitsipas! and a wonderful embrace at the end between these two future KINGS of tennis!

Sanne V:

What a great match. What a pity that one of them had to lose

Samuel Awolaja:

Just love Tsitsipas! Love his never say die attitude and how he keeps it real (his liking or not as it seems to be of Medvedev). He's so right you can't like everyone in the world!! Such a mature head on his shoulders. ❤️

Andreas Hoppe:

Watching two backhanders is soo good! it was a close match and a fight till the very end. Very entertaining!

Ricky Fed Fan:

I feeling so proud of Tsitsipas performance From start to end up Winning champion and even on Thiem even on Medvedev or Zevrev these Young guns is coming top of it stoping Nadal Federer Djokovic in Road to Final this is unreal performance

Hoku Nihipali:

What an amazing match!!! Great for both of them! :) congrats to Stefano!

Giovanni TONDO:

Young generation coming out strong, what a good way to end the match. Bravo Tsitsipas star is shinning

Paul Gruber:

Its gonna be GREAT next year with all the young guys. I´m talking about Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Schwarzman and I´m looking forward to seeing them in the grandslams

athinaios8:

Συγχαρητήρια φίλε! Μάς έκανες υπερήφανους! Πιάνεις κορυφή και είσαι μόλις 21 χρονών!

Merima Licina:

When I watch Tsitsipas play, I feel like this guy could go on for 24 hours straight and not loose his energy.

Matt Rosenbaum:

Wish I saw this match. Rock ‘em, sock ‘em tennis!! Shame to have a “loser”. Both are the real deal; they are ready to take over from the Big 3 and showed that all week. What class and respect for each other at the end. That kind of sportsmanship kids need to see!

aki chisel:

EPIC

Thiem crossing the court and the Stefanos hug was the highlight of the game.

"For a very proud day for all concerned".

Markus Weber:

The whole Match was a Highlight!

Me as a Thiem fan, I have to lift my hat for Stefanos. He showed some magnificent tennis.

Raghav Gidwani:

I was supporting thiem throughout the match. After he won the first set, I was certain he would lift the trophy, but tsitsipas played unbelievable in the second set. In the final set, the match was equally poised. When one of them broke serve, the other broke back. It was compelling yet heartbreaking. I really wanted thiem to hit that forehand down the line when he was 5-4 down in the tiebraker, in the final set. I hope he recovers quickly and win french open/ atp finals next year!!

Spinner Channel:

What a friendship between them.

Sandz:

When Thiem covered his face after his error, I felt the pressure went into his head. I was like that too when I used to be a tournament player.... but still i congratulate the two players who performed very very well through out the whole seasons of their career... eyeing for the next years' seasons players!!! God bless both of you...

Nathan:

Very good match a close final both amazing players congrats to Tsitsipas and what great sportsmanship shown at the end

journalistethics dotcom:

Title 1, 2, 3 = 250 points. Title 4 = 1500 points. That's one giant leap for kind Stefanos. Both are great sports.

H2O4Life:

Best part starts at the end in 5:19 - great friendship/attitude from both. Top marks! 😎👍

MrBolaextra:

Very good match, one of the best of the year. Congratulations to both players, they gave it all. Thiem was right in saying tennis is a brutal sport. It is, you can win or lose by little margins even if you play your best.

In the case of Tsitsipas, he has a great present and future in tennis. He showed that with good mental strenght he has the game to beat anyone in the tour.

Dejaya8 Ahora:

Tsitsipas is morphing into a warrior before our very eyes. Thiem threw all he has at him. What a match!

Guillermo Meana:

¡Tsitsipas deserves it 100%!

Oscar Stow:

arguably the best atp finals match of all time

SaverioDiGiusto:

Congrats tsitsipas, you play great tennis, this is your first special title, stay strong 💪

Eleni Koutivas:

Congratulations Stefane you 're A Champion !🦁🎾💪🏻👊🏻🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷💙F 🇦🇺

Jess Bell:

Thiem exerts more effort on his strokes than Tsitsipas. He tires himself with a little to give on the succeeding sets prompting him to be sluggish on rallies and returns. With that being said, Stefano capitalized on that aperture by sustaining aggressiveness and sagacious placements. A well-deserved win for the GREEK.

RC-DarkAngel7:

Great job next genners! Greece 🇬🇷 should be happy today

Santiago Daniel Baez Lesme:

Hace tiempo no disfrutaba tanto de un partido que no sea del Big3

Tremendo lo de Tsitsipas 👏👏

Sennin Mystic:

He is phenomenal Stefanos!
Good job than Thiem!

BrotherTree1:

Unbelievable!!! What a final! These guys will win slams soon.

tswrench:

Wow! En route to the title, he beat Medvedev for the first time in 6 tries, took out Federer for the second time this year, downed the defending champ A. Zverev, and last but not least, came from behind to beat a red hot Dominic Thiem. It looks like this tennis thing is working out for Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Vishal Kharat:

What a great display of temperament and skills by both the guys!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Grant Ngatai:

What an amazing match as Stefano continues on after an emphatic and decisive match against the FED! Bring on 2020!

Aenor:

I am a Greek and i am happy that Stefanos won, i watch him for years. But mostly i am happy because i watched a very high quality game today, an incredible performance from both players. During last weeks we, friends of tennis, are a little bit relieved knowing that the future of tennis is in good hands, even after the retirement of the big 3.
Lastly Thiem is an awesome player, i am a fan of him, and i love his fully aggressive game and the fact he hits the ball so hard, maybe the most entertaining player for me to watch.
I wish the best for both of them!!

Zale Trifunovic:

Bravo Tsitsipas, you can do it when your mind and focus is on tennis. Pame 😊

Theo Berman:

He is going to be a future number 1. He has such great mental strength!!!

Sampson Chan:

Finally a finals without RF Nadal or Djokovic. Congratulations to Greece

Sydney Rooster:

Sports punter here who had 11,000 good reasons to cheer on Tsitsi this morning (Aussie time). 15/1 pre tournament was a steal. Great match by the new Novak & Fed.

Agustino Hadiyanto:

Tsitsipas makes a big history, congrat's Tsitsipas for this titles

Atax treck:

Congrats to Stefanos and Dominic played well too. Both have a good future ahead.

Papas Papas:

Δώσε πόνο Στέφανε 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Harry Luo:

It's great to see two single back-handers playing against each other!

mnztr1:

Great match by two classy guys. I hope this is the rivalry we are watching for the 2020's. Add Medvedev and maybe we have the next "big 3"

Felipe Ksetrock:

Beatiful final moments hugjes smiles and fair play😁😁

Umang Khetarpal:

Great finals. Two tough competitors. The future of Men's tennis is finally here. Tremendously talented players, all three- Tsitsipas, Thiem and Medvedev, all have good serves, volley and baseline including good backhands. Zverev is the fourth one but not in the same league as the other three yet. I worry about Thiem's potential injuries given how much effort he puts in compared to the other two.Two powerful single handed backhand players. Thiem reminds me of Stanimal's backhand. Thiem's best chance will be at Roland Garros.

leroy75:

Stefanos is a magnificent player. He has a bright future in front of him to become one of the best in sport's history!!!

Grigorios Gatsios:

Welcome nextgen, we have seen the next No 1. Tsitsipas and Thiem. Congrats, very good game.

Kieran Rankie:

Tsitsipas is going to be a real contender for the Australian Open if he continues playing like this.

Shoaib raj:

Don't know weather to feel sad for Domi or to feel happy for tsitsi...one of a final!!!

Anne Macleod:

Well played to both of you ... congratulations, Stefanos. You kept your cool! 🥎🥎🥎

Charice Animo:

This young pal deserved that trophy. They all worked so hard but kudos to Stef, truly deserving. Congratulations!!!

Tim Hauser:

Fai2012:

Thiem and Tsitsi, my two favorites from the next gen.

Alex Cortez:

As a Fed fan, I'm glad the single-handed backhand is back to dominate the game!

Amin Guides:

I knew it I knew it..
