"Unveil my killer attitude on court" says Tsitsipas about hopes for rest of the season

The Greek appeared to be on a course for a major breakout season in 2021 especially after some early success on clay. Those successes never translated to the hard courts and his 2nd part of the season is filled with missed opportunities that he would like to have back. That is why he gave a very interesting response when asked about what he hoped out of Paris and Turin:

"I have two more [tournaments] left and I'm trying to give my last breath on the court and become more of a selfish player on the court, and unveil my killer attitude on the court. You have to be this way. The best players in the world, they are very selfish and they want everything for themselves, and I'm this way too."

Elaborating further on that point, Tsitsipas said:

“When I'm on the court I'm not mixing it up with my outside life, and I'm able to separate those two. I think once you become soft and start kind of getting into your emotions and feeling many things at once … it's not really good for you."

He continued:

“So blocking all of that and letting it pass through and just being able to stay in the moment, these are some qualities that top players have developed and are able to compete at such level, not really care what's happening on the other side of the court.”
