Recently, the world of tennis has been talking a lot about the possible future rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. And while Tsitsipas knows that younger players than him may be taking over the ATP Tour, he is also aware of the fact that the rivalry is helping the sport in general.

“The rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner is normal and very healthy in my opinion. They are two great players who are growing a lot. I need to improve more, tennis is getting more difficult and intense. There are great players on the courts who fight for everything."

One of the biggest goals of every tennis player is certainly winning a Grand Slam title and in 2023, Tsitsipas was very close to that but fell short to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final. But the Greek feels like a triumph is very close.

"I am very close to winning a Grand Slam final, I just hope to continue working to continue on the same path and reach those finals. I need to give myself opportunities to win them. This is a great tournament, and I hope that with effort and dedication I can get one. great victory."
