He also admitted that he was quite frustrated in the US for not being able to play at his best.
“I’m really happy I’m in a position now where I don’t have to think about the pain anymore. I don’t have to change things around that. So, I’m able to go back to the way I wanted to play,” said Tsitsipas during a recent interview.
