Stefanos and Petros Tsitsipas are going to play doubles again in Rotterdam. The Tsitsipas brothers made their slam debut at the Australian Open and that was an unforgettable moment, according to Stefanos.
Stefanos Tsitsipas confirmed that he will play more doubles with his brother in 2021 and the main purpose is to help his performance.
“I want to take the opportunity to play with him in 250 and 500 events, a Grand Slam, as we did. It was my best memory of my stay in Australia. I am primarily focusing on my singles career, but I also want to help my brother and his performances,” said Stefanos.
“I would only do it for my brother, and no one else. I want to build a team with him, exclusively with him. I’m not planning on playing with anyone else.”
