"Haven't played much on grass" calms Tsitsipas lofty expectations ahead of Wimbledon

Stefanos Tsitsipas is expected to carry on with stellar performance on grass but the Greek is realistic about his lack of playing time on grass.

Tsitsipas always spoke about being a player that grains confidence by playing matches and winning matches and he didn't much of both on the grass in his career so far. The Greek has been a standout performer in 2021 but he is realistic about his chances at Wimbledon. He said:

“I haven't really played much on grass. I've practised a couple of times. I'm feeling all right on grass. I think it will take a few matches for me to start gaining more confidence. I just want to see how every single match that I get to play here will evolve, and what are my opportunities going to be."

Tsitsipas possesses a game that suits grass well and he admitted he likes the surface despite a lack of good results on it:

“Honestly, grass court is a surface that I love. But probably two years ago, I didn't really have the best result, the result that I expected. It was kind of something that tore me apart. I was a completely different person to who I am now.” Tsitsipas reflected"

Tsitsipas elected not to play any grass events ahead of Wimbledon and asked about what he did before the major he said:

“[I] spent a few days in the countryside just outside London. I had a few days off for relaxation, some good physiotherapy, and rehab for my body to be ready for the grass-court season. I started practising like almost eight days ago, getting back to the new style of tennis, which is the grass-court tennis.
