As he prepares to play in the Dubai tournament final this Saturday for the third time in his career, Stefanos Tsitsipas reflected during a press conference on his 2019 final against Roger Federer, when the Swiss legend was chasing his 100th ATP title.

A historic moment in tennis that stirred emotions for the world No. 11: "Playing Roger for his 100th career title was something special. And I was able to be a part of it.

I wouldn’t say I was a fan at the time, but I loved being part of such a final. I won’t lie about being stressed, because I felt responsible for whether he would win it or not.

It wasn’t a great match from my side.

I wish I could have played differently, but it remains a very beautiful memory and a great final that I was able to play with one of the greatest players in the history of the sport."
