This Is What Tsitsipas Thinks About On Big Points…

Does Stefanos Tsitsipas wear the same shirt for an entire tournament?

The Greek star revealed that and plenty more in an Instagram Q&A session before the Western & Southern Open begins at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.

Will you ever go back to short hair?
I have been thinking about it for a long time now. I would love to have short hair, it’s not very easy to maintain that long hair. But at the same time it’s my style and it’s who I am.

For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
Some of the things that I am really grateful for are my family, my friends, being from Greece, from such a rich country, and being healthy of course and being able to travel at the same time and play tennis at such a high level.

Do you have any superstitions?
Wearing the same t-shirt throughout the whole tournament. I’m just kidding! That’s not a thing. 

What do you think about on big points?
Are my shoelaces broken?

Is your life better than you imagined?
It honestly couldn’t be better. I have people who love me next to me supporting me throughout this journey, this very difficult journey. I’m living my life to the fullest and honestly couldn’t ask for anything more. 

Are you going to play doubles with me? (from Dominic Thiem)
Dominic don’t worry about it, we’re going to play doubles. But unfortunately the coronavirus struck just before Miami so it never happened. But I’m sure we can arrange something for the future.  

What will you miss not being able to explore NYC this year?
I guess hanging out with my friends and taking pictures like last year, going to the movies as well.

Skill you wish you’d acquire/perfect?
How to make my bed.

Who is the funniest player on Tour?
Andy Murray.

Have you ever tried martial arts?
Yes I have actually. I did kickboxing lessons when I was 12 for two years and I had a great time.

What language do you want to master in the future?
I always have a thing for Japanese, so I’ll go for Japanese. It’s just such a mysterious language.

Do you consider being in the film industry?
It’s one of my dreams too. I would love to be in that business.
