In detail:
About the match, Tsitsipas said: “I’m more proud of my attitude than my tennis. Today on court I enjoyed the game and was able to go out there and fight after losing the 1st set. I felt fresh and like I’m going to be a new Stefanos from the 2nd set and it showed. Despite losing the set I felt like I was still in the driver’s seat and that I could change things. As soon as I got the first break in the 2nd set, I instantly felt the whole dynamic of the match change».
On the change he made in the 2nd and 3rd sets on his returns, he said: “It would be interesting to see the statistics behind this as well. I caused an imbalance in my opponent’s serve, and by that I mean that he had a relative balance and stability in his serve, which also gave him a confidence. But as soon as I made this adjustment I felt things change. Maybe he was a little more nervous, but he started making mistakes. This immediately gave me confidence that I can do more on the second serve and that I am in control».

I’m his girlfriend, I don’t want to talk too much about tennis (laughs), but I have to say that I’m proud of how she fought and especially mentally, it’s never easy and she did great” said the Spanish woman.
