"I think he’s a genius" - Baghdatis speaks about Tsitsipas

Earlier this month it was revealed, that Marcos Baghdatis will be coaching Elina Svitolina during the 2020 Season. Baghdatis ended his career after Wimbledon. Tsitsipas spoke about Baghdatis when he said:

“Marcos is one of the most gifted, most positive people you'll ever meet. He shows it on the court. He has this vibe where it feels like life is more important than tennis, which I love to see. Some people are too serious, like me when I play. He has this gift, this smile, this energy. The fans love it. He deserved more. But the things he did were big not just for him but also for his country. He came from a really small country, with zero history in tennis.”

Baghdatis recently spoke to The Telegraph about Stefanos Tsitsipas as he praised the Greek, saying: “As a person, I think he’s a genius. He doesn’t think like us. I see a bit of Roger in him, in his game, in his mind, on the court in the way he analyses the matches. Not a lot of players can come out of a match and analyse so well. That’s a very strong advantage that he has.

“He has a complete game. He has very small things to improve – his slice a bit and his return. But his self-discipline and determination, he’s at the level of Djokovic for me, and at a very young age. I think he’s the only one, with Thiem, that has the mentality to keep on winning slams throughout the years.”
