Injuries have affected me a lot," laments Tsitsipas

Stefanos Tsitsipas was defeated in the second round of the French Open by Matteo Gigante. The finalist of the 2021 edition spoke in a press conference about his injuries, his mindset, and his experience.

"If there's one thing I've faced in the past two years that I hadn't experienced as much before, it's injuries. Psychologically, they have affected me a lot.

Many issues have arisen after these injuries, which have made me uncomfortable and caused me to lose a bit of hope regarding my body's ability to respond to certain situations and the constant demands of the circuit.

I still want to be the best player in the world and achieve great things in this sport that I have chosen to practice. I always focus on improving every aspect of my game.

I am optimistic. I don't make excuses, so I focus entirely on how to find solutions and solve certain problems. It's a constant puzzle.

I am ambitious and want to show it on the tennis court. Things have changed a lot in the past two years, and I know that I am now in a completely different situation.

I need to use my experience more wisely. Sometimes, I feel like it stabs me, instead of using it more professionally and deeply.
