Stefanos Tsitsipas had a fantastic start of his campaign at the French Open after a solid win over Maximilian Marterer.
The Greek sensation looked to be in the right mindset to concede no break points for the entire match, and that is something special when you play a best of 5 match on clay.
Tsitsipas about his mentality in Paris
In the press conference following his 1st round match, the Greek sensation
“Very satisfied. I was playing really well the first two sets of the match. Better than I thought I would. Third set was tricky. I felt like he started pressing more, started going for his shots more, faster, stronger. I stayed mentally strong and closed the tie-break at the end.
I have to take it match by match. If I think too far, things might turn out to go reverse and go the other way around.
So I don’t want to think that far. Obviously, I want to stay here as long as possible, because the vibe of this tournament is nice. So let’s just take it step-by-step.”
Next vs. Hugo Dellien
Stefanos will face Hugo Dellien in the 2nd round. They have never played each other so far.
