Roger Federer has many fans, and one of them is the younger brother of Stefanos Tsitsipas who just turned 18, and his idol sent him a birthday message.
Roger Federer has many fans, especially those that like to hold a racquet in their hand. Pavlos Tsitsipas comes from a tennis family as his mother is a former player, while his father coached tennis for most of his life, including the World No. 5 on the ATP Tour.
Like his older brothers Stefanos and Petros, Pavlos plays tennis, and he looks up mostly to his older brother Stefanos. Outside of that, he's a huge Roger Federer fan who inspires him to this day which he previously admitted during an event he competed at.
Yeah, he (Stefanos Tsitsipas) is my biggest role model, I would say. My brother, of course, and yeah, he is a huge inspiration to me, and I mean also Roger Federer. He is a huge inspiration to me, and these are the people I try to, let's say, copy.
Pavlos turned 18 on July 23rd and he got a very interesting gift from Roger Federer. The Swiss legend recorded a video message for the youngster who is hoping to carve out a career in tennis in the coming years.
Hey Pavlos, happy birthday! Finally, you can party, drive, drink, I guess. So, have a great birthday party, say hi to Stefanos, and take care. All the best to you, bye-bye Pavlos.
The video was a nice gesture from Federer, who has a good relationship with Stefanos Tsitsipas as they took part in a few Laver Cups together, including last year, which was the final one of his career. Tsitsipas himself holds Federer in high regard as his idol and the reason why we see him playing a one-handed backhand, for example.
