Last year while watching The Daily Serve (preview show for Grand Slams we have here on one of our cable channels) Wally Masur who is head of performance at Tennis Australia admitted he "dropped the ball" regarding Tsitsipas.
He explained that the Tsitsipas family had expressed interest in moving from the economically crippled Greece for a better future for the whole family and having Stefanos train and play for Australia.
Wally went to Athens to see the 16 year old Tsitsipas to see if he was worth the investment for Tennis Australa, he felt that Tsitsipas was an ok 16 year old but didn't feel he possessed what it took to be a top player so Wally Masur said no to Tsitsipas and the rest is history.
Good old Tennis Australia, always on the money.
