There are ways to support your son, and then there are ways to support your son.

Stefanos Tsitsipas survived a 4-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 Roland Garros first-rounder versus Jaume Munar on Tuesday, his first time rallying back from a two-set deficit.

Tsitispas stood out on court in his all-black kit, and his coach and father, Apostolos, grabbed some attention as well, by wearing a mask with a cartoon of Stefanos on it:

"He's like a Swiss knife. He has a lot of important roles around me," Stefanos said of his father after the match. "My coach, psychologist, philosopher. He's a funny guy. I like having him around."

The mask's design, itappears, comes from artist Cat Lee and can be purchased on Redbubble. Up close, the mask shows Tsitsipas in a tuxedo, holding champagne in a Great Gatsby–esque pose.

With continued strong performances, Tsitsipas might have more to celebrate by the end of the tournament. Following Daniil Medvedev's elimination, Tsitsipas is the highest seed in his quarter of the draw.

In Round 2, he plays world No. 60 Pablo Cuevas.
