Shortly after his big win in the semi-finals of the Australian Open and qualifying for the final of the big Melbourne tournament, Stefanos Tsitsipas he declared blessed about the moments he lives on the courts and emphasized that his goal is to reach on top of the world.
“I watched Marco (Pagdati) do it a few years ago, playing on this court. I dreamed of it as a child too. It’s great to play here against the best in the world. He is in my heart and I always consider him one of my role models“, initially said the top Greek tennis player.
“I feel blessed to be able to be at this level. I wanted for years to be here, to put Greek tennis on the map. I know that for the Australians it’s nothing, because they always produce great players, but for Greece, a small country, it’s very important. I never expected to have so much support here, we’ll see what happens in the final“, he added.
He was then asked what did he think when Khachanov made it 2-1. “I thought about how hard I worked to get here. I couldn’t… close it out in the third set. It was one of those moments where you have to concentrate more, have the sound of the fans in the back of your head“, he replied.
And ended up talking for the prospect of being No1 of the world: “I like number 1! It’s a dream to be there, a big dream. I am very glad to be on this road».
