"It's probably the worst injury that I had": Tsitsipas remarks issues with shoulder after Monte-Carlo loss

Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered a pretty disappointing loss to Taylor Fritz at the Monte-Carlo Masters, an event he won twice in the past two years.

The Greek didn't play a very good match and he looked very passive against a player who took the match to him and he didn't know how to respond. A dejected Tsitsipas admitted that he's still dealing with his shoulder despite declaring to be fully fit before the start of this event. It's an injury that has been bothering him since the Australian Open and it's weighing heavy on him:

"I would have never pictured myself dealing with such an injury. It would have been perhaps the last thing that I could think of when it comes in terms of injury with tennis. It's probably the worst injury that I had on the tennis court so far."

He further expanded that he's doing everything possible to fix it because it's the most important thing for him in the next 15 years because it impacts his tennis career:

"Well, yeah, my arm generally, I have tried to change a few things in terms of my, the way I -- you know, all these weights and all these stringing patterns, whatever, to help my arm, because it's the most important thing for me in the next 15 years. I'm trying my best to keep it as healthy as possible."

He finally said:

"I am much better than this, and I'm disappointed I was not able to show my game today. I tried to fight on the second set. It's a good lesson. It's not a happy day for me, but it's a good lesson."
