Ready to win a Grand Slam title for the first time in his career, he said Stefanos Tsitsipas during the Barcelona Open Press Conference.
The number 5 in the World ranking, referred to the improvement he has in his game, while he did not fail to talk about his premiere on Easter Tuesday, where he will face Midelkup and Mies in the doubles, having as a partner, Nicolas Machut.
His statements in detail:
“I’m happy to be back at the Barcelona Open. I need to up my game. The tournament is very big and I prefer to play against opponents like Yannick Sinner or Alex de Minor. I need to push myself more and improve day by day.
The rivalry between Shiner and Alkarath is something logical and very healthy in my opinion. They are two great players who are maturing and developing a lot. They play with incredible speed, Alkarath covers the court in such a crazy way that you often worry that something bad will happen to him. For my part, I have to improve more because tennis is becoming more difficult and more competitive. There are great players who fight on the court for everything”initially declared No.5 in the world ranking.
“I’m very close to winning a Grand Slam, I just hope to continue to train in the same way and continue to be in these finals more often. I have to give myself opportunities to win them. This is a great tournament and I hope that with effort and dedication I can make it a big win. Having players like Alkarath in this tournament is very good. Obviously it makes it harder, but that always helps me improve.”
