"I think I had to do something extra for the victory today" - Tsitsipas expresses relief following quarterfinal win in Hamburg

World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas booked his spot in the semifinals of the Hamburg European Open following a tough victory over Dusan Lajovic.
The second seed was down 3-5 in the first set tiebreak but won the next four points to win the tiebreak and escape with a 7-6(5) 6-2 victory.
"It was a perfect day, sunny, good people, good atmosphere and good clay,” said Tsitsipas after the match.
This would be his second straight victory over Lajovic, following a three-set win in Beijing last year. Tsitsipas now leads the Serbian 2-1 in career meetings on the ATP Tour.
"Dusan is a difficult opponent to play on clay, with a lot of spin and variation in his shots," added the Greek star. "I think I had to do something extra for the victory today. I will keep working hard.”
Tsitsipas next faces Christian Garin on Saturday, as both men will battle to determine who reaches the final. Garin overcame Alexander Bublik 3-6 6-4 6-4, and will reach his sixth Tour-level championship match with a victory over Tsitsipas.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
