Today’s match with World No.109 Denis Kudla didn’t go Stefanos Tsitsipas’ way in Halle, but the 19-year-old rising star left his mark on the grass-court with this spectacular diving volley and recovery.

Not only did Tsitsipas make the outrageous dive to keep the point alive against Kudla, he also recovered in time to snag the put-away volley winner.



This kind of work takes a lot of heart and courage, as well as magical hands.

It was definitely the shot of the day in Halle, and even though Tsitsipas fell 6-3, 6-4, he’ll go home with another notch on his highlight reel.
