Stefanos Tsitsipas is set to adapt a "different approach" when it comes to the return of competitive action at the Western & Southern Open which will have no crowds.

Tsitsipas will take on either Kevin Anderson or Kyle Edmund in the second round and he has said that approach is focusing more on his tennis which could give him an advantage.
“[The controlled environment] gives me, in a way, a different approach towards my tennis. It gives me an opportunity to focus more on my tennis and less on what is happening outside of it, which is great,” said Tsitsipas.
“[This situation] gives me an opportunity to practise a lot, discover myself more being out on the court, love my sport even more, appreciate my sport more.”
In terms of being back, the Greek ace is very pleased not only to be playing again but to be in the company of his fellow players once more which he described as his 'normal happiness'.
”It's a great opportunity to be able to perform and play at such a high level again. Personally speaking, I'm very happy I get to be back on the court,” added Tsitsipas. “I was very happy when I first came here and saw my fellow players.
"I greeted all of them, had a smile on my face seeing them, being surrounded by them. It's a great environment. Honestly, I'm just happy competing again, just happy to be able to be back to my normal happiness.”
