In his previous match he spoke about his love of Greece during a on court interview.
In the same interview, Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed that he is very proud to represent his country. "Greece is my home. I have my roots there and I have the culture of the country in my blood. Greece is also a kind of shell for me.
Maybe it also protects me. I'm definitely happiest when I'm there," Stefanos Tsitsipas stated. The 24-year-old also spoke about the importance of finding a work-life balance whilst competing at the highest level of the sport.
"We professionals live in a bubble, but the things I do for myself away from tennis - including meeting people I trust unconditionally - make me feel good about reality. That’s important for me. This also sharpens your consciousness. And yes, maybe that really makes me a better player," he added.
