Stefanos Tsitsipas: 'I saw another side of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal'
Stefanos Tsitsipas enjoyed his experience at the Laver Cup in Geneva with Federer and Nadal.
The Greek, who competed for Team Europe, said: "We have such interesting conversations with all the guys. The last two, three days I think we didn't have the opportunity to go out together simply because we finished the match way too late, 10:30, 10:00 in the night. I enjoy the company of everyone, even the coach and the captains. We have great chats. We kind of get to know each other better, and, I mean, it's unbelievable because I see another side of Roger and Rafa when I'm spending time with them which I didn't know existed before. When you are seeing them in the press conference, they are completely different of what they are outside the press room, which is really nice to see. We laugh a lot. We have fun. I really wish we could do this more often, because, I don't know, it's nice sharing.
I needed the team competition in tennis. I have been doing everything on my own out on the court, and it kind of -- it was needed for me to be part of a union and a team. I'm really glad it all connected and was puzzled perfectly, Davis Cup, Laver Cup in two weeks. As I said before, it's nice sharing, and my good performance is going to make other people happy in which we share the same goal and the same path/road this week. I think competitions like this can open up, it can bring new ideas and also give me confidence because -- I mean, it does matter, but I believe I play more freely than I do in other individual ATP Tour/circuit tournaments."
