Optimistic appeared in statements of o Stefanos Tsitsipasa few hours before his match with the Belarusian Ilias Ivaska (20/4, 19:00) for the “phase of 32” in Barcelona Open.
The leading Greek tennis player said he was happy to be present at the tournament, while he also referred to the importance of the event and the absence of Rafa Nadal.
“I feel good, I’m happy to be in this tournament. I’m happy with my tennis and the big opponents are here even if Rafa Nadal is not present. Just because it’s not there does not mean it is not a great tournament. I have no pressure to win this year “.
“I think there are players, including myself, who can win the tournament because we adapt well to this surface. I do not think that moving from Monaco to Barcelona will affect me. I think the transition from fast to slow pitches is much more difficult. I already trained this morning, so that it affects me as little as possible “he mentioned characteristically.
Remember that Tsitsipas had reached the final of last year’s tournament, where he lost 2-1 set to Nadal.
