Stefanos Tsitsipas: 'Me and Nick Kyrgios are different character-wise'
Stefanos Tsitsipas shared why he played doubles with Nick Kyrgios at the Citi Open. Their run has already ended having lost to Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah, Wimbledon winners, in a three-set, first-round match. Speaking of the Australian, the Greek said: “He’s known for playing pretty good doubles and I thought playing before singles would help me get used to conditions faster. We both have aggressive mindsets on the court and we like to be in control of the points. We’re both tall guys, good serves. I guess character-wise (there are) differences but I think we share lots of things in common so that’s why I decided to play with him.”
On his own improvements, Tsitsipas added: “I’ve matured a lot since last year. I found a new challenge on the ATP Tour. I was hungry and very excited. I was very hungry to make the transition to the ATP, many chances to play the big guys. That’s what got me so upsized.”
Tsitsipas finally spoke about his passion for photos and videos. He shared that he is now working with Hugo Ljungquist in order to improve his video qualities. “I decided it was time to step it up. For me to be able to do it each season I thought it would be nice to have a videographer travel with me instead of film it myself. Anways, tennis is the most important. I have a lot of aspirations. I’m a big fan of Robert De Niro, (Martin) Scorsese, Bradley Cooper and the voice of Morgan Freeman – obviously you’ve got to have his voice.”
