“You must be close to perfection now” - Stefanos Tsitsipas’ brother pens humorous birthday message for Greek; sister Elisavet revisits childhood photo

Stefanos Tsitsipas' siblings Petros and Elisavet recently wished their elder brother on his birthday as he turned 26 on August 12. The Greek has three younger siblings - two brothers Petros and Pavlos aged 24 and 19 respectively, and one sister Elisavet aged 16.

All of the Tsitsipas siblings pursue tennis, with Stefanos being the most successful of them. While Petros has established himself as a threat in doubles, Pavlos is currently competing in the ITF tournaments as he tries to find his footing. Elisavet, meanwhile, just like Pavlos, is just getting started.

Stefanos and Petros even played doubles together at the 2024 Paris Olympics which was the elder Tsitsipas' dream. However, their run came to a disappointing end as they were knocked out in the opening round by Francisco Cabral and Nuno Borges

Petros and Elisavet took to Instagram on August 12 to wish their brother Stefanos his 26th birthday. While the youngest Tsitsipas wished her elder brother in Greek with a photo of them together from their childhood, the 24-year-old joked about how Stefanos was becoming old and coming close to perfection.

"They say the older you get, the better you get. You must be close to perfection now! Happy Birthday Stefanos Tsitsipas," Petros joked.

"Happy Birthday Brother," Elisavet wrote (translated from Greek).

After a shocking defeat to Kei Nishikori at the National Bank Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas will look to bring his North American hardcourt swing back on track at the Cincinnati Masters. Seeded ninth, the Greek is set to kick off his campaign against Jan-Lennard Struff.

The two men have shared a brilliant rivalry over the years, having played eight matches with both of them winning four each. Their most recent meeting came at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle where the German won in straight sets.

Tsitsipas had a disappointing outing in Cincinnati last year as he was eliminated in the third round by Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets.
