Stefanos Tsitsipas decided to play all competitions at the current French Open. The Greek sensation has just reached the fourth round in singles and he curiously opted for playing doubles with his brother Petros and the mixed double with his girlfriend Paula Badosa. That seems to be a bit too much for a player who is aspiring to win the French Open. After his last match, he was asked why he decided to play all competitions.
He replied:
“It’s all because of love. It is when you think about it, on both sides, so…getting to combine love and tennis is quite exceptional, I’ve gotta say.”
