Stefanos Tsitsipas expressed his determination to make Carlos Alcaraz feel less comfortable on the court in their upcoming match, despite their head-to-head record favoring Alcaraz.
“Well, he said in the past that he likes playing against me, so I hope he gets to like it a little bit less next time,” Tsitsipas remarked. “I hope I can get him to that maybe stage of starting to feel like maybe it’s not so comfortable playing against me.”
Tsitsipas is focused on creating opportunities for himself and aims to replicate the exhilarating atmosphere of his recent matches. “That’s my goal going into the match, and I hope there are chances on my side that I can utilize and I can create an amazing atmosphere such as today was. These are the kind of moments I am waiting for as a tennis player,” he added.
