"Feel like the CEO and suddenly you are an employee": Stefanos Tsitsipas makes bizarre comparison after initial top 10 drop
ATPFriday, 10 May 2024 at 15:03
Stefanos Tsitsipas is known for his interesting musings and quotes that he puts on his X account and he had one for his own career and trajectory by saying that he felt like he was an employee instead of a CEO after dropping out of the top 10.
Tsitsipas who got back on track by winning Monte-Carlo and reaching the final of Barcelona rose again alongside Casper Ruud who himself also fell. But he said it shows how much it means to him when he drops like a stone after such hard work.
“If you saw how excited I was in Monte Carlo, you will understand how much it meant to me. Leaving the top 10 was strange,” Tsitsipas said to Correire dello Sport.
“First you feel like the CEO of a company and suddenly you are an employee again. The top 10 is an exclusive club and you realise its value when you are no longer there.
“It is true that it is just a number, but for us tennis players it means a lot. I hope I can do even more and be in the top five. I only have one career and I want to make the most of it.”
But while that is the case, he also made the bold claim that he sees himself as a favourite for Roland Garros in the next few weeks as well as recounting partly his belief that Rafael Nadal still has a chance. Similar to Barcelona which was then rubbished by the Spanish legend.
“Let’s say yes, but I start to see myself as a potential champion when I reach the semi-finals. There I begin to have possibilities of achieving my dream,” he added.
“Although first, there are many competitive rivals and I believe in match by match, which is not a cliché and I think that also applies to champions like [Rafael] Nadal.”

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
- That explains a lot about her "priorities" (which are not necessarily tennis). Makes sense.mandoist20-05-2024
