Tsitsipas’s Interview

After the match, Stefanos commented:

“It’s really good to know that I’ll be playing in the semi-finals, but I’ve got to concentrate, keep going the way I have been doing things the last couple of days.

I always find an extra motivation, an extra reason to play well against the top guys. I consider Sascha also being of this part of this elite group.”

Zverev’s reaction

In the past, Sascha didn’t have the best reaction when he lost to Stefanos. However, this time he acknowledged the fact that the Greek played a very good match to comment:

“He played a fantastic match, I thought. I played really bad. At this level, this is how it goes when somebody plays great and you don’t play your best. It can go this way, especially against him who I think this surface, these conditions fit him quite well.”
