"Definitely something that I would wish for myself": Stefanos Tsitsipas reveals interesting goal in 2025

Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has revealed that he is looking to play world number one Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic more this year. The 26-year-old was once regarded as the next big thing but has failed to deliver consistent results, especially in the recent past.

Tsitsipas has been recently quoted in a report where he highlighted an interesting goal this year. The Athens-born star stated that one of his wishes is to play in the reigning world number one Sinner and Serbia’s legendary tennis star Djokovic more this year. Tsitsipas also stated that if he manages to achieve that, it will mean that he is going towards the latter stages of the competition.

“I really hope Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic,” he said. “I mean, these two, if I’m able to get a consistent rivalry with those two, that definitely shows that good things are happening for me. I have this belief that the more I play Jannik [Sinner], and Novak [Djokovic], during a year that’s actually a good problem to have and that shows that I’m going deep into the draws, and that’s definitely something that I would wish for myself.”

Tsitsipas’ wish is interesting, considering his record against both players. Against Sinner, the 26-year-old has a fabulous record, winning six times and losing just three times. On the other hand, against Djokovic, Tsitsipas' record is nothing short of a disaster, as he has only won twice in 14 meetings and suffered just 12 defeats.

Tsitsipas has had a disastrous start to his 2025 campaign. He participated in the Australian Open, where he was knocked out in the first round after losing to Alex Michelsen with a score of 7-5, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4. His last appearance was in the Qatar Open, where he was once again knocked out after losing in the first round to Hamad Medjedovic with a score of 7-6, 5-7, 7-6.
