AP: Greek tennis star Tsitsipas beats Caruso at Australian Open (video)Thrilling Melbourne’s vocal Greek supporters

Stefanos Tsitsipas thrilled his vocal Greek supporters with a 6-0, 6-2, 6-3 win over Salvatore Caruso at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne.

Tsitsipas has been adopted by the large local Greek population in Melbourne and even has a "souvlaki sandwich" named after him at his favorite restaurant, with all proceeds doing to the charity appeal for the local wildfires that have hit the region.
