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!
