Stefanos Tsitsipas has likened his game-reading and creative prowess to Roger Federer's following his Wimbledon second-round win over Jordan Thompson on Thursday.
The fourth seed is through to the second round at SW19 for the first time in four years following a straight-set win against Thompson.
After the win, Tsitsipas said:
"I would say that my mentality is very strong. If I fall, I always get up and work hard. I haven't had days where I didn't want to train. ... If I fall, I get up stronger. There is also a part that I bring with me, discipline, skill and mental strength. On my best days, I feel like I can read my opponents' game very well and be creative on court. Maybe not as much as Federer, but I do have it."
He further added:
"Hitting that ball like this allows me to take my opponent out of position. That worked well for me today and gave me plenty of break options. My serve has also helped me a lot, keeping me very consistent."
