Stefanos Tsitsipas

“I want to inspire other people that want to do the same, to give them an idea how the tour works and how tennis is, and how good traveling can be, sometimes.”

“I feel like decluttering is good.”

“Those who have followed me throughout the years know that I'm always trying to experiment creatively to reach a deeper connection with my fans.”

“When I was younger, I had a phase where I'm like, 'I'm just going to focus on my tennis, I won't focus on any friends right now, this is not an important part of my life to be making friends.'”

“I am born a champion. I can feel it in my blood. I can feel it as a competitive kid that I was when I was young. It's something that is within me.”

“I'm putting Greece more deep into the map of tennis.”

“When you do something with a lot of intensity and a lot of focus and alot of will, sometimes your mind cannot keep up and you get tired.”

“I use my towel a lot when I play. It gives me time to think, gives me time to refresh myself and think about my tactics.”

“I genuinely believe in what I'm able to produce... It might not go the way I want it to, but I put 110% out there.”

“Sometimes I feel like quitting my travel vlogs... but I just love creating travel content so much!”

“It's just concentrating on building geometrical patterns and and the structure of the game, I'm focused on every single ball I hit. I'm trying to dictate play, see into the future if I do certain things, what's the next move?”

“You cannot do the same thing over and over again. And that's why I admire the players like Djokovic, Federer and Nadal. They seem to be consistent in all they're doing.”

“I used to have a towel when I was three, four years old, and I would always carry it around. It was like my toy, basically.”

“You cannot cheat codes on the ATP tour to make your way through.”

“Giannis is a big reason why I push myself to become better. He is a great source of motivation for me. I look up to him. I admire his skill, his mindset, his ethics. He has the full package and I love the guy. I aspire to one day be like him.”

“My dream is to explore the world, capture great moments, and win many matches along the way.”

“It doesn't matter what the score. I'm always going to attack. I'm always going to go to the ball, maybe even approach after my shot.”

“The people that follow me, support me. Some of them don't have the opportunity to come to my matches. They are in remote places and also in places that do not have much access to tennis. I make sure to send them postcards and sometimes letters.”

“Greece is who I am. I bleed blue. I don't understand how some guys don't feel that way about their country.”

“As a young journalist, I'd write a lot about Rafa and look how things have changed. I'm now in a position to face him, an idol that's now a rival. It's magnificent to be honest.”
