Tsitsipas opens up before his debut in Miami: "Before, I felt very limited with my tennis"

Despite his loss to Rune in the Indian Wells Round of 16 (6-2, 6-2), Tsitsipas arrives in Florida determined.

The Greek is confident ahead of his first match at the Miami Masters and plans to build on his title win in Dubai against Felix Auger-Aliassime (6-3, 6-3).

The media outlet Punto de Break shared the world number 10's thoughts:

"There is a variation in my game. I feel like I have more options, at least that's what I felt during my matches in Dubai.

I feel stronger playing this way because I couldn't do it before.

I've gained confidence because I know another type of tennis is possible for me. This makes me hungrier on the court. Now, I'm working on things I couldn't handle before.

It's enjoyable to open these new doors and ask: What new things can I do? What elements can I add to my tennis? without feeling limited.

I don't know if this is a new stage in my tennis career, but it has refreshed my mind. And the word that could describe this moment is 'excitement.'

The excitement of going to practice, the excitement of playing matches. Before, I didn't feel as prepared, I felt very limited in my tennis.

I felt like I had no power in my shots. And now, I have no excuses, I will go out and take every opportunity I have to improve," said Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas has a Bye and will face Tseng in the second round of Miami.
