Stefanos Tsitsipas is having a rather solid season. The Greek sensation is currently ranked the number 5 and he is leading the year-to-date rankings. This year, Stefanos has a remarkable 29-8 win-loss record and he has conquered his maiden ATP1000 title in Monte Carlo.
Stefanos is now in Lyon, where he is seeded number 2, but he is widely considered the favorite to win the tournament.
Stefanos has recently commented that he is delighted with his current situation and the level of consistency that he has achieved. Tsitsipas also talked about his quest to be perfect.
“I still feel far from being consistent compared to other players. I have been quite consistent, but there is a fine gap that I can close. I am always trying to reach a level of perfection, which I have yet to reach yet,” he said.
