Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently in Hamburg, where he will try to win the local ATP500. Nevertheless, in an interview that preceded the tournament, Stefanos Tsitsipas admitted that he is still quite upset about losing to Frances Tiafoe in the Wimbledon first round.
Stefanos Tsitsipas commented:
“I try to get the most out of every game. This match against Tiafoe is complicated. I am still very angry with what happened. I came to Wimbledon with the idea of wanting to play a good role, to do a very different result from previous years, but it didn’t work.
If I were someone who felt comfortable in situations like this, I wouldn’t dedicate myself to tennis. I always try to go higher and get the best possible result in every tournament I play.”
