It only takes a few minutes in the company of Stefanos Tsitsipas to realise that this is hardly your typical Millennial sportsman. Possessing an inquisitive mind, Tsitsipas is a photographer, a traveller, and a philosopher - of sorts.

He is also something of an outsider, viewed with suspicion by many of his peers. World No. 4 Alexander Zverev for instance was disdainful of Tsitsipas in August after losing an ill-tempered Rogers Cup quarter-final. "I don’t think he played that well. I think the match was absolutely pathetic on all levels," Zverev said. A few weeks later Nick Kyrgios tweeted "da fuq" (meaning, in a fashion, "what on earth?") in response to Tsitsipas musing with typical wide-eyed innocence that: “It’s amazing how many different sounds you can hear while walking in NYC. Just close your eyes and absorb!”

Tsitsipas is clearly a little bit different. Where many of his contemporaries spend their free time playing computer games like Fortnite and Fifa, Tsitsipas - only 20 years old and the 15th best tennis player in the world - is happier discussing his passion for photography, podcasting and solo travel. When talking about the way he edits photos for instance, Tsitsipas explained to The Telegraph that: "Black and white photography is not just black and white, it shows also what’s hiding among the greys."
