"I don't expect anything from the federation": Stefanos Tsitsipas aims to develop tennis in Greece, calls for Maria Sakkari's help

World number three Stefanos Tsitsipas has stated that he is aiming to develop tennis in Greece and has called his fellow star Maria Sakkari for help.
The 25-year-old expressed those remarks after being quoted recently in a report where he expressed frustration over the lack of support from the tennis federation in Greece regarding the development of the sport.
"Personally, I have a plan, which I want to implement in a few years from now,” he said. “I don't expect anything from the federation, they won't be responsible for it, it's a personal matter and something I want to create in the next few years.
"Of course, in this project, Maria is also welcome... For me it is a passion and it has nothing to do with money. I am passionate about the development of tennis in Greece and I hope in the future I will find the time because it is something that has been on my mind for the last few months.”
Tsitsipas had a mixed time on the court in 2023 where he started brightly but ended with some poor results. The Athens-born had to retire because of a back injury from the last major tournament in the ATP calendar — the Finals in Turin.
