Tsitsipas "ready to show up with good mentality" in Monte Carlo quarterfinal

After his great run last year, Stefanos Tsitsipas set out to defend his title at the 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters, and so far, he's successful.

The 23-year-old Greek didn't lose a single set on his way to the title last year, and this year, it can be the same story for Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters, as he's cruising through the draw very comfortably.

After receiving a bye in the first round, defeating Fabio Fognini in the second and Laslo Djere in the third, Tsitsipas will face a very tough clay-court opponent, Diego Schwartzman, who will play his 16th match on clay this season.

After his third-round match against Laslo Djere, Tsitsipas assessed his performance and also praised his opponent, who, according to the Greek no. 1, "stayed consistent" and made him "work hard" for the victory.
