Tsitsipas
In purple shorts, he paces
While he’s waiting for the serve,
So focused and intense, opponents
Likely lose their nerve.
At 22 years old, though,
He’s still relatively young
To play so well considering
The experts he’s among.
Of all the quotes I’ve heard,
This is the one I like the best:
“Oceans cover most of earth
And Tsitsipas the rest.”
For Greece he represents the first
To make it to the end
Of a tournament whose title
Rafa’s waiting to defend.
I love to watch this player
Whose finesse imbues his game
But I also cheer him on because
I love to say his name!
