Daniilidou on bwinSPORT FM: “The future belongs to Tsitsipas, he can write history”

Able to write his own history in tennis is Stefanos Tsitsipasas pointed out by Lena Daniilidou speaking to News Bulletin 247 and the Michael Tsoho. The once great tennis player, who had reached as high as No. 21 in the world ranking, believes that if he continues to work, the 24-year-old tennis player can soon achieve what he failed to do in the final of the Australian Open against Novak Djokovic.

“It was a final against a tennis legend. You can’t say he missed an opportunity through his hands. When you face such an opponent you have to be at 100% physically, mentally and tennis-wise. Not to say 101%. A lot comes into play in such a fight. The stress you have is indescribable, I don’t even know if he slept the night before. Stefanos has been improved in several pieces in this tournament, even against Djokovic. Let’s not forget that he is 24 years old. I wish him to stay healthy, the future is in his hands to make history. He needs luck, but also to continue working on the pieces he is lagging behind“, he emphasized.

As for the form of the match that was decided 3-0, but with “Nole” winning the last two sets in the tiebreak? “I think that Stefanos started the match very nervously. During the match he relaxed, calmed down and was much more efficient. But the start was bad enough to face such an athlete. A tennis player like Djokovic won’t give you many chances and if you don’t take advantage of them, you don’t have much room afterwards“, he pointed out.

Finally, about whether he is jealous that she was competing at a time when tennis in Greece was not so popular, he answered: “Tennis is a lonely sport, it is also for Stefanos and Maria. I’m not jealous at all, it makes me happy to see these kids excel, there’s a great effort from everyone and I’m very happy to see the stadiums full. I wish more athletes would come out from behind».
