"I'm playing without pain" says Stefanos Tsitsipas

The elbow had been troubling Tsitsipas for quite some time as the Greek continued to play on despite the pain. He also suffered from a foot injury that plagued him over the course of the North American Swing but that too seems healed. In a recent interview, speaking on the upcoming season he said:

“I considered it necessary to have surgery because I had been feeling permanent pain for years while playing, trying to limit the load on that area of ​​my body. I wanted to return as soon as possible, but without being afraid of relapsing from the injury. It is fantastic to be on the court without feeling pain and seeing that I can do any movement."

Tsitsipas further admitted that he is starting from scratch as the injury changed the way he played which now can model once again:

“Now I am faced with a totally new challenge because I realise that I had changed my style of play and now I can play without limiting factors. For me it's like starting from scratch. I'm using a muscle that I almost didn't know I had because I wasn't using it to protect the joint, I changed my style of play. It was difficult for me mentally to compete for almost two years with this problem.”
