About the way of playing at the Australian Open, about his victory against Jiri Lekhetska, but also about the fact that he is looking forward to the semi-final against Karen Katsanov, he spoke at the press conference, Stefanos Tsitsipas.
In detail what he said:
On his Grand Slam experience and whether this could be his year: “I feel great with my tennis. I don’t think I’ve felt this way in a long time. I would definitely say yes to that. I’ve said it before, I’m a different player, I play differently. My mindset is different. When I’m on the court I don’t think about anything negative, to be honest. I just go out there and play my game.”
On the semi-final against Karen Katsanov: “I’m looking forward to this match, it’s great to be in the semi-finals again. I’m very happy with the way I’m playing so far and I’m aiming for more, better. I want to live magical experiences here in Australia.”
On his collaboration with Mark Filippoussi: “The reason Mark is part of the team is the dynamic. There hasn’t been any friction, it’s going well. We all get along, we understand each other. There are no misunderstandings that can lead to conflict. I’ve been enjoying it since 2022. It’s good to be around my father, who can give him advice, help him and help me too. I hope I can also help him with experiences.”
What is it that has taken him to the next level? “The mentality. Clearly the mindset. Nothing else”.
On how it feels energy-wise, compared to Roland Garros 2021 as well: “I feel great. I’m playing good tennis and beyond the mentality, it’s the way of looking at things. On the one hand, you might be exhausted after every game you play. Whatever you try to do, take a lot of effort. And there is the other version, where you do your job, but you enjoy it so much that you don’t care if it’s exhausting or not. You renew yourself every time.
I think that’s what I’ve been heading towards more and more lately, more than anything else. I’m happy when I go out on the court, happy to play. I’m happy to make nice shots. It’s the whole momentum that has made me hungry and made me want to play tennis and want to achieve new things.”
