Tsitsipas’ confidence about winning a slam

The Greek will start the new season full of confidence after he triumphed at the recent ATP Finals. However, he needs to remember Grigor Dimitrov and Sascha Zverev’s struggles after they won the same competitions. In fact, both the Bulgarian and the German had a not-so-great run in the following season.

After winning the season’s finale, Tsitsipas commented:

“I feel like my game is getting better over time. I believe I’m really close on being crowned a grand slam champion. I know these are strong words that I say but I do feel like I belong to be there. I’m competing against some of the best players in the world and the amount of effort and the amount of work I put [in] every day deserves to have an outcome like this.”

Stefanos had a surprising run at the last Australian Open where he reached the semifinals after beating Roger Federer on the way. 1 thing is sure, the Greek will have the full support of the local Greeks in Melbourne.

It’s interesting to notice that some other players like Matteo Berrettini, Felix Auger Aliassime and even Jannik Sinner have their quotations in case they win the Australian Open,
