Stefanos Tsitsipas is a 19-year-old rising player hailing from Greece, ranked No. 117 in the world. This week, as he's trying to qualify for the Japan Open in Tokyo, he took time off from the tournament to take a swing at some baseballs.

Spending time in a batting cage in Tokyo, Tsitsipas probably shouldn't switch from tennis, but it looked like he enjoyed getting to explore the city.

Tsitsipas is part of a recent Greek tennis takeover as his compatriot Maria Sakkari reached the Wuhan semifinals.
