Stefanos Tsitsipas after his loss to Jannik Sinner at ATP Finals: “I’m not the elastic girl from the superheroes” 😂 Well said.
"I'm not the elastic girl from the Superheroes": Stefanos Tsitsipas' hilarious response to Jannik Sinner defeat at ATP Finals

Stefanos Tsitsipas amusingly explained his defeat against Jannik Sinner's formidable serve in their opening clash at the 2023 ATP Finals.
The tournament's kickoff featured an enthralling battle between Sinner and Tsitsipas, ultimately claimed by the Italian in front of his home crowd with a scoreline of 6-4, 6-4. Sinner showcased an exceptional serve that proved nearly impossible for the Greek to counter, as he didn't even manage a single break opportunity throughout the match.
Following the loss, Tsitsipas acknowledged in a press conference how challenging it was to play against Sinner's serve. He won only ten points in ten service games of his opponent and conceded his serve twice, allowing Sinner to seize the victory. The 25-year-old Greek humorously drew a comparison to illustrate his struggles when facing the Italian's serve.
“He definitely has improved his serve and he showed it today on the court. There wasn’t much I could do, I was trying to guess sometimes, but his serves were landing close to the lines, to the corners and, you know I’m not the elastic girl from the superheroes to be behind this balls,” he said.
“I tried my best, and he played a very good quality match from his side,” Tsitsipas added.

Tsitsipas's defeat places him at the bottom of the group now led by Jannik Sinner. The head-to-head record stands at 5-3 in favor of Tsitsipas, although he has suffered losses in their last two encounters, both in 2023 on indoor hardcourts.
Despite the setback at the start of the tournament, all is not lost for the former world No. 3. He will need victories against Holger Rune and Novak Djokovic to stay alive in the competition. It's worth noting that Tsitsipas couldn't progress from the group stage in 2022, securing a win against Daniil Medvedev but facing defeats against Djokovic and Rublev. As a result, he holds 500 points that he must defend this week.
