Stefanos Tsitsipas has just reached the 4th round at the Roland Garros after he defeated Filip Krajinovic in 4th sets 7-5 6-3 6-7 (5) 7-6 (6) to set up a tasty match against Stan Wawrinka.

Why I don’t smile on court. TSITSIPAS

During the press conference following his 3rd round, Stefanos explained why he doesn’t smile on court as he does off court. The Greek commented

“Because to me, it’s a serious job. Tennis is something that I make a living off, so I take it very seriously. I try to be very selfish in what I’m doing and not be too emotional or hurt someone’s feelings when I’m playing. I think I have to be tough to get the maximum out of it.
So that’s the main reason I’m so serious and focused and always have that game face.”

Stefanos is expected to face Wawrinka on Sunday. They have never played each other so far.
