The ITF's Katrina Adams stays on the front lines for women with the Tory Burch Foundation Sports Fellowship

It’s never easy to live up to the hype, but Stefanos Tsitsipas has done it all season long. After three semifinal appearances, Tsitsipas has finally made it to championship Sunday.

Tsitsipas raced to a 6-3, 6-3 lead over Alexander Zverev before hitting a few mental speed bumps. But the Greek remained calm in the end to overcome the weight of the moment and posted a 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 score.

The Greek entered the French Open as the oddsmakers second favorite to win the title, and he’ll get his chance against the winner of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Let's let Tsitsipas enjoy the moment, because things will be difficult on Sunday. Regardless of who the Greek will play, his opponent will have at least 28 times as much experience in Grand Slam finals.
