Tsitsipas's mother, Julia Apostoli, had this to say about Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. In her opinion, the Serb is more deserving: "Djokovic has made it on his own, without public relations.
He entered tennis when Federer and Nadal were already at the highest level. He wasn't a household name, but over time he proved that anything was possible.
Those who condemn him will need time to reconsider. He had a very difficult childhood. That can be explained.
He had to hide in an air-raid shelter as a child. Federer grew up in a happy country: Switzerland. That deserves to be taken into account.
