Stefanos Tsitsipas: 'Stan Wawrinka underwent a serious surgery recently'
In a press conference at the French Open Stefanos Tsitsipas previewed his upcoming match against Stan Wawrinka. The Greek player said: "I know he has been struggling with some injuries, and he had a serious operation recently, so to me, it seems like he has found his form, his game. And as we all know, he did quite well at the French Open plenty of times, not just once. He's a dangerous player. He knows clay very well. He has a big game."
On his mindset during a competition, Tsitsipas added: "If I start the match well, if I start the match by taking an advantage early on, he's much older than me, I'm much younger than him, so I think when it comes to physical, I guess I have a little bit of an advantage; but when it comes to experience, he's a bit more experienced than me."
On how he deals with the 25-second shot clock between points, Tsitsipas concluded: "I haven't noticed the 25-second shot clock thing at all. I don't even think about it. Now that you reminded me, I just -- yeah, I thought about it, that actually exists (smiling). No, nothing to add. I mean, 25 seconds is 25 seconds. I think it's fair for everyone. I might take some more time than my opponents, which happens sometimes, but nothing to add on that."
