Stefanos Tsitsipas recently opened up on how the impact of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in particular has helped him grow and improve.
Tsitsipas sat down for a chat with TennisTV ahead of the 2024 Monte-Carlo Masters which starts Sunday in the first round. He was asked whether the constant evolution at the top of the game helps to push him to another level.

The Greek in kind responded that he hadn't seen such a great new crop of players for a long time and it means that he has to now offer more as a player in order to improve and get better. He said that he always needs to push the bar further now.
"Yes absolutely, I do feel that and they’ve pushed the threshold of tennis further. In terms of improvement, I feel like tennis hasn’t seen such a good generation of players in a while and I truly mean it when I say that I feel like Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, obviously all the other guys as well, they’ve been pushing me to be better."
"Now the standards are higher. I need to offer more than I did before on the court and it’s kind of how life works you know, one generation leaves something behind and the next one shows up and tries to kind of improve it or give it sort of a better version of what has occurred previously. So I am living that now!"
