"I want to bring an Olympic medal to my country and win a Grand Slam": Stefanos Tsitsipas sets lofty ambitions for 2024
ATPThursday, 28 December 2023 at 06:30
Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has stated his objectives
for 2024. The 25-year-old did not have a great ending to the 2023 season where
he struggled with fitness concerns and form as well.
Tsitsipas was recently quoted in a report where he stated
that his primary objective in 2024 will be to win a Grand Slam and an Olympic
medal for his country as well. It was because of this reason he had to withdraw from the ATP Finals in Turin as well.
"I want to obviously bring an Olympic medal back to my
country, that is a goal of mine,” he said. “I want to win a Grand Slam title
[in 2024], that is also a goal of mine.
"For sure, in order for me to do these things I need to
be healthy because there was a time this season where certain circumstances
didn’t allow me to perform at 100 per cent; what I’m talking about those
instances, they appeared after the Australian Open this year, and towards the
end of the season."
In 2023, the current world number six had some bright spots as well and the
brightest came in the Australian Open where he finished as the runner-up after
losing to the current world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic with a score of 6–3,
7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5).

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
