Tsitsipas reflects on ATP Finals triumph: “I couldn’t really believe what just happened”

Tsitsipas said that he had to endure the mindset of no fear in order to succeed and this is what he did in the run up to 2019 after the Next Gen ATP Finals.

This led to him winning that ATP Finals title and he said that the difference in the end is that he came into the tournament full of confidence.

“It was a great end of the year, coming in London strong from the very beginning, full of confidence. It just gave me so much to work around with. I felt very flexible in my way of thinking,” Tsitsipas said.

“At the end I left from London with the trophy, which I couldn’t really believe what just happened. It was a great, great week with good fan support, a good team around me.”

“I remember playing the Next Gen Finals [in 2018] and thinking to myself that the young generation I’m currently facing at the Next Gen ATP Finals is the future,” Tsitsipas added.

“Players are young, they’re ambitious, they play so well. There’s nothing to fear of going out and playing with the elder players. So for me, that was very crucial to be in that kind of thinking and that kind of mindset.”
