Beaten in the second round, Tsitsipas is positive: "I'm proud of myself".
It wasn't exactly the reaction we were expecting from Stefanos Tsitsipas. Indeed, after showing great ambitions, he was finally stopped in the second round at Wimbledon.
Beaten by a bluffing Emil Ruusuvuori (7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3), Tsitsipas seemed to take this setback in stride at his press conference.
Although the result was extremely disappointing, Tsitsipas was keen to hold on to the positives without completely second-guessing himself: "It was an interesting match, everything could have changed if I'd won the second set. I did my best, but it didn't work out.
He managed his emotions very well and had a bit more power and precision than me. I'm proud of myself and these matches will help me improve. I need to learn how to handle situations like this under pressure."
