"There is no looking back now" says Stefanos Tsitsipas about his mindset going forward

Stefanos Tsitsipas achieved quite a few highlights in 2021 but the Greek is only looking ahead determined to top those achievements.

The Greek tennis player won his maiden ATP 1000 trophy this season in Monte-Carlo and he also played in his first Grand Slam final. While the Roland Garros final was lost Tsitsipas admitted it taught him a huge lesson of just what it takes to become what he wants to become in tennis. He will play once again at the ATP Finals having won the trophy before.

Speaking ahead of the event he said:

“The key is to show up every single day for work and be present and just play your game. The level is at its highest and you have to adjust to that and play the tennis that you’ve never played before. It doesn’t get higher than that."

Tsitsipas enjoys playing at the Finals and he has fond memories of it having won it before:

"It’s one of the best events to leave your last breath on the court and show your best tennis. I love everything about the Finals. I love that we get to expose who we really are at this last tournament of the year and play against the best."

Tsitsipas is also looking ahead to next year not concerned with what he did in the past. He is determined to get better at any cost:

“It’s paying attention to detail, which eventually makes the big differences; certainly becoming even more professional than I am now. I consider myself doing the best for my career and wanting the best for my career. But I think it will take a few extra steps in order to get to that level that I’m really aspiring for next year."
