How to beat Djokovic
During the interview that followed Stefanos Tsitsipas’s match against Tommy Paul, the world number 5 explained what he is going to do in order to beat Djokovic. Tsitsipas explained that he will try to be aggressive from the very beginning trying not to overdo it.
“I need to show the same consistency,” Stefanos explained. “I have weapons that I can use. But in the past I feel I have used too much spin or power. It’s important that I stay at a medium level and not overdo it. It will be a physical match and I will need to move well.”
This is what he said.
