After sharing the doubles court with Nick Kyrgios in Washington, D.C., Stefanos Tsitsipas shared insight on their similarities.
The Australian Open semifinalist said size, serving volatility and an aggressive mind-set are common characteristics between the pair. Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah topped Kyrgios and Tsitsipas, 6-3, 3-6, 10-5.

“We both like to be aggressive and in charge of the point," Tsitsipas said. "He likes to come to the net. It is not his strongest point but he feels comfortable doing it. Returns are pretty good, we are both tall guys, good serves."
Though their styles are similar, Tsitsipas says there are clear differences, too.
“I guess character-wise [we are] different. “But I think we both share lots of things in common so that’s why I also decided to play with him.”
