"It paid off more than I thought" admits Tsitsipas on gameplan v Sinner

Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to his third Australian Open semi-final with a dominant 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Italy’s Jannik Sinner.

The Greek never lost in a grand slam quarterfinal and improves to a 4-0 moving on to the semifinal where he will face Daniil Medvedev for a rematch of last years semifinal. After the match, Tsitsipas spoke highly of his opponent being content with his own display as well:

“Jannik is a very good player. So I tried to focus on my best shots and it paid off more than I thought. I am very, very happy with the way I served today and the way I came in and used my tactics in today’s match structure. Having the crowd support is truly unbelievable.”

The match got suspended for 20 minutes due to heavy rain which forced the roof to be closed. That gave Sinner a bit of time to calm down a bit but it did not matter. Tsitsipas continued playing superb tennis and on the roof closing he said:

“It is part of the game. I knew I was heading towards the right direction with the game I managed to create from the start of the match. The conditions changed when the roof was closed, slightly faster. I tried to adapt to these new conditions and it just worked.”
