The 23-year-old was then asked about his idol Roger Federer and whether he thought he would ever get to compete with the Swiss maestro. Tsitsipas expressed his immense admiration for the 20-time Grand Slam champion and described playing with Federer as a “never in a lifetime scenario.”
Tsitsipas continued to praise Federer enthusiastically and stated that he missed the Swiss on the tour.
Stefanos Tsitsipas starts his campaign at Halle Open on Tuesday
Danish player Holger Rune shocked the tennis world last month by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the fourth round of the French Open. The Greek, who reached the tournament’s final last season, was the favorite to do so again this year. He then participated in the Stuttgart Open as the top seed. Britain’s Andy Murray beat him in the quarterfinals in straight sets.
At the 29th edition of The Terra Wortmann Open, an ATP 500 event, second seed Tsitsipas will play his first match against Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi on Tuesday. He could face Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the second round, which would be a treat for the fans. For that to happen, Kyrgios will also need to win his first-round match against Germany’s Daniel Altmaier.
Former Australian player Todd Woodbridge has picked Kyrgios to do well at Wimbledon this year.
