The World Is Watching Him. He’s Watching the World.

Stefanos Tsitsipas’s climb up the tennis rankings over the past year — from 161st to 15th — could have been a blur. Fortunately for him, he has a high-definition record of almost all of it.

At the United States Open last year, Tsitsipas started experimenting with creating video diaries, a log of his travels in which he shares his delight at the various places and cultures he has encountered on the pro tennis tour. While some players rarely veer from a path between their hotel and the courts each week, Tsitsipas frequently struck out on his own with his camera, exploring as much as he could.
