“Her presence in my life helps me a lot,” he said. “She has changed my approach to the game in a way that I never expected."

Talking about his objective, Tsitsipas stated that reaching the very top remains his primary objective but admitted that it is not ‘everything’ for him.

“I certainly think about it a lot, but the top isn’t everything,” he said. “I was addicted to this target when I was younger and this deprived me of something. This doesn’t mean that I’m not happy with what I have accomplished; I do want to improve as a player.

“But the key is finding a balance between your private life, building something with someone, and moving ahead in your career, with that person’s help.”

Tsitsipas is coming on the back of a disappointing season on her personal level. He started 2023 in a great manner when he reached the final of the Australian Open but lost to the current world number one Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5).

However, from there on, not much went right for the world number five who was knocked out from the quarterfinal of the French Open after losing to world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 6-2, 6-1, 7-6.

In Wimbledon, Tsitsipas was knocked out in the fourth round whereas in the US Open, he crashed out of the tournament in the second round.
