Tsitsipas caps breakout year

Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas capped a breakthrough season by rallying from a set down to beat Australian Alex de Minaur in the Next Gen ATP final on Saturday.

The 20-year-old, ranked 15th in the world, came through 2-4, 4-1, 4-3 (7/3), 4-3 (7/3) against 19-year-old de Minaur after one hour and 41 minutes for his second title after Stockholm last month.

Tsitsipas, one of the sport's most improved players this year after starting the season ranked 91st, also finished runner-up to Rafael Nadal in Barcelona and Toronto.

"It's been a long season, a season I'll never forget," Tsitsipas said. "I've played some incredible tennis throughout the whole year. And both mentally and physically, I feel like it's time to take a break. But really proud with myself, and I really owe it all to the team of people I've put around me."
