Tsitsipas: “I was confident at the end and qualified”

by

Stefanos Tsitsipas emphasized that against Garin he was on vacation and praised the value of the ATP No. 16, analyzed his performance in the last stages and referred to the improvement shown by his injured shoulder.

Analytically: “I was really looking forward to this fight, I felt like I was on holiday the week before in Miami so it was a match I was looking forward to. It was a tough match against an opponent who played good tennis, has beaten top level players in the past and his ranking position does not reflect his ability.

Other than that, though, I’m happy with how things went and the confidence I showed at the end. I had a good attitude and was very effective in the last few games.”

He added: “I just want to enjoy this win, I’ve had a difficult recovery period in the last few weeks, but I’m happy because the shoulder is getting better all the time. The walkover certainly didn’t bother me at all at this stage, but injuries are never good and I hope Richard recovers quickly.

This fact, however, gave me a little extra time to prepare and today was not easy at all, but I felt very good when I closed the match, it’s a very nice feeling to be back on the court and winning”.
