Tsitsipas opened up about his stellar win!
The star player has talked about how he pushed himself to storm into the last eight rounds of Monaco. The tennis sensation felt that his opponent failed to take advantage of his mistakes, which allowed him to win this epic clash.
"Most games were really close. I felt most of the games were ending at the 40/30 score; there was a lot of action. I don't think the score resembles the match. There was a lot more than the score shows. We both tried to push each other to the limit. He was maybe unable to take advantage of certain opportunities and I handled them much better than I expected," Tsitsipas said in his on-court interview.
