The Greek star hopes to get his first Rotterdam Open win in three years and also talked about his improvement over the years.

Stefanos Tsitsipas said he's always happy to participate in the Rotterdam Open. However, the Greek star is yet to win in the tournament in the past three years. And he's hoping to change that as he takes on the 2020 edition of the competition.

“I’m always happy to be in Rotterdam, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a win here – three years in a row,” Tsitsipas said.

"I’m now playing here for a fourth time. I keep learning week-by-week and I can see a much different Stefanos to the first time I played here.”

The 21-year-old also said he's learned a lot in the past year. One of the most important things he's learned is the need to conserve his energy and not stick to his perfectionist nature.

“I am managing my energy wiser now, knowing when to push and when I need to conserve some energy. It was around this time last year when I felt exhausted… I think your mindset changes, sometimes you want to play more or play smarter and conserve energy. It’s about getting to understand the game better and processing certain things.”
