Tennis and media are embracing technology and Stefanos Tsitsipas turned to be (sort of) hologram during a studio interview with Eurosport that has been using an interesting technology to simulate the presence of players in their studio.
Stefanos discussed the difficulties he had when facing Jeremy Chardy in the first round and how he had to keep his nerves. Eventually, he managed to win in straight sets 7-66 6-3 6-1. The key was staying calm and winning the breaker when he was trailing 1-4.
