Tsitsipas Looks To Guide Team Europe To Glory At Laver Cup Thanks To Previous Experience

| by Evita Mueller

Stefanos Tsitsipas never missed Laver Cup when he could participate, and he won't this year either, hoping to lead Team Europe to glory.

Tsitsipas is the most experienced player on Team Europe out of all of those participating, and he hopes to use that experience to try and lead the team to victory. Tsitsipas was part of the team last year in London and watched Team World winning its first-ever Laver Cup.

He wasn't thrilled with it and certainly doesn't count it among his favourite Laver Cup memories. That would be the 2019 triumph in Geneva as they celebrated it, after which he counts as one of the coolest things that happened to him at the event.

My favorite memory was winning the title in Geneva. I spent that night with Roger, Fabio (Fognini), Sascha (Zverev), and the rest of the pack, celebrating and having fun. It was definitely very memorable and a once-in-a lifetime type of thing.

Tsitsipas has a 3-1 record in singles at the Laver Cup, only losing last year to Frances Tiafoe. He hopes that experiences help some of the players who are taking part for the first time. The event is rather straightforward, but there are some nuances around it which make it unique.

I see myself as someone who has experienced it a few times, so I can definitely use that in a way to guide the rest of them and introduce them into the scene. It gives me a little bit of motivation that it’s also up to me to push everyone and motivate everyone to do well and help the team blend in together as nicely as possible before the competition kicks in.

Well, Tsitsipas will have a chance to help Andrey Rublev this year, a player he once described as having a limited skillset. That should be interesting.
