Stefanos Tsitsipas is about to face Daniel Evans to reach the final in Monte Carlo. The Greek sensation has the opportunity of being the world no.1 in the year-to-date rankings if he ever manages to win the prestigious ATP1000.
During a recent press conference, Stefanos was asked to talk about the new generation and what has been happening right now on the tour.
The Greek Sensational revealed that he is not a really close friend to anyone on tour. Stefanos commented:
“I’m not particularly friends or dose with any of them. I know them a little bit. None of them lives in my area. I don’t get to practice very often with them.
On the tour right now, it’s kind of difficult, strange, I would say. You would think that players hang out together, but it doesn’t really happen. That’s how the tour is. You do your job; you do your thing; you go back to the room and wait for tomorrow.
I didn’t have the chance to talk or spend some time with any of them. You would think with the new generation, it includes me, staying a lot of time connected with devices and smartphones, laptops, anything digital really. Kind of has shifted, changed, over the years.”
