Stefanos Tsitsipas has admitted that while he do feels a Grand Slam is coming that he does have to take it step by step instead of putting pressure on himself too soon.

Tsitsipas who won the ATP Finals in London last November said that for him while he has proven himself in that event, the dominance of the Big Three is still a factor even now.
“Looking back to that I think winning a Slam was too big of a statement to be taken seriously. I should not be looking so far too soon. For sure, I want it to come, but I should be talking about stuff like this less often and concentrate on the present.
I guess I just put too much pressure on myself, aiming so high and I just have to take it step by step, not think too much about the future and be irrational”, said Tsitsipas in an interview to Tennis Majors.
“People always ask me when I am going to win a Grand Slam title. I feel it is going to come if you wait. You don’t have to ask the same question every single time. The Big Three are doing a great job, staying where they are and being so committed to what they do. They are difficult to beat, I won’t lie they are difficult to beat," added Tsitsipas.
They still play at the same level. Maybe not the same, but even better than what they played five, six, seven or eight years ago. They are always improving, they are always learning. They are more experienced than us.
Maybe physically they are not the same because of the age. I do feel that I am capable of winning Grand Slams. I have proven myself at the Nitto ATP Finals. I was the last player standing out of all eight, which for sure meant something, it’s not accidental, you know?"
