Tsitsipas has good balance, he is very similar to Roger Federer - Hale
Speaking to Tennis World USA, the Toronto Rogers Cup Tournament Director Karl Hale made a comparison between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Roger Federer. The Greek upset the Swiss earlier this year in the Australian Open. "I have watched him since he was 16 years old, I know his father. He is so talented, he is a genius. He is very similar to Roger, he has a goos balance on and off the court. He needs to get a bit stronger but he will definitely win some Grand Slams before his career is over and he will at least crack the top 3 rankings because you never know is someone can really become No. 1," said Hale.
On Nick Kyrgios, Hale added: "Nick has one of top five serves in the world, that's what makes him stay on top 100 rankings. He has an incredibile talent, but we hope he gets more disciplined in order to achieve his potential and i hope he does that before it's not too late. I hope he doesn't have regrets at 35 years of age and he says, I wish I had trained harder. Hopefully, he will learn to respect the sport and develop his potential."
Hale concluded: "We are the biggest one-week tournament in the world, we have a great position on the calendar. We love this status and we are really happy for it. Some other tournaments like Indian Wells and Miami habe a larger budget because they habe a longer duration in terms of days. In 2010 we had all the Big Four in the semifinals. It was really exciting. Completely sold out. Players were in their prime. When Denis Shapovalov beat Rafael Nadal in Montreal two years, everybody was watching so it's always exciting when Canadians do well."
