"I think this year it was the best season for Stefanos" - Tsitsipas' father praises his son

Winning 59 matches during the season and titles in Marseille, Estoril, but the most imporant one at the ATP Finals, Tsitsipas was one of the most successful players of the 2019 Season. After winning the award for the best athlete in Greece, his father Apostolos said:

"I think this year it was the best season for Stefanos because all the efforts we made over all these years paid off. This recognition shows that Stefanos brought something to Greek, people understand how much it takes to be there. In tennis, there are many matches. He wants to become world No. 1, win the biggest titles like the Grand Slams, also the Olympics are an enormous goal. Only Stefanos knows how and what's his limit."

"Parents always deal with pressure. Now for me, it's about being humble and keep fighting to help him to achieve what he wants. We should not see difficulties as a wall, as an obstacle to what we are trying to achieve. But we need to see it as a challenge in order to improve and if we do it, we will reach the highest step and we will manage to become the best as we can. It's all about how much love you have. You need some time to understand what it means to be a professional, so I am sure also in Greece they have been trying to make more kids perseve these dreams."

Also Stefanos said, that this was just a beginning and he wants to perform much better when he said: "We go for much more, this is just the beginning. The title in London came because I improved my game throughout the year and I performed at my best. I played with my soul and passion. When my fans started cheering on my name towards the end of the third set, I felt a change and I became more optimistic."
