Greece was hit with heavy rain a few weeks ago as a consequence of Storm Daniel and Stefanos Tsitsipas donated a large sum towards flood relief in the country.
Storm Daniel was one of the more devastating European storms in recent memory. It wreaked havoc in Greece, with its effects felt across the ocean in Libya as well. After fires did a lot of damage during the summer, Greece also experienced disastrous flooding recently, which devastated Tsitispas.
He comes from the village of Proastio through his father, a village that was severely hit by the floods, which is what prompted the Greek number one to donate a sizeable amount of money towards flood relief.
He was recently on the ground preparing for the Davis Cup tie between Greece and Slovakia. Tsitsipas won his first match but then lost both the singles and doubles on the final day coming up short on securing the win for his country.
One of his biggest dreams is to get Greece into the main group of the Davis Cup, but he'll have to wait a bit more. For now, he'll keep getting better and inspiring kids back home to pick up a racquet to inspire the next generation of players.
