Stefanos Tsitsipas had no issues against Frances Tiafoe admitting he liked playing under the closed roof which benefitted him greatly.

Tsitsipas enjoys playing in indoor conditions and in such conditions, he won one of his biggest trophies to date at the ATP Finals in London. Today he greatly benefitted from those conditions as Tiafoe struggled more so against him than he did at Wimbledon. On the match Tsitsipas said:

“There was [a different feel] yeah. I enjoyed playing under the closed roof. The court kind of felt quicker, but that didn’t stop me from playing the game I wanted to play.”

Asked what worked for him this time around as opposed to Wimbledon he explained that he learned his lessons:

“I’m always trying to find to find solutions, find ways to fix my mistakes and get a better outcome - that was the case today. I was able to maintain high levels of concentration and deliver good tennis in moments where I had to. It was a very well balanced game, mentally.”
