Tsitsipas looks forward to returning to action after Coronavirus pandemic: "I can't wait to be back on the tennis court"

Many players while showing their discontent as to not being able to play for some time due to the Coronavirus have urged people to stay indoors and for Stefanos Tsitsipas he is missing the action and said that the time away from the court doesn't help.

Tsitsipas said this is due to having to try to stay in good health while being away from action and for the Greek ace it is a hard balance to strike.

"I do miss competing and playing," Tsitsipas added. "I can’t wait to be back on the tennis court because competition keeps me alive – it keeps me going every single day. I’m really looking forward to my next tournament.

I hope it’s not a long way from now. I hope this whole thing lasts as little time as possible. I’m trying to stay in shape. It does have an affect I would say. Time seems to be running pretty slow! I’m trying to stay active. I’m trying to go outside, get a work out, get a run and keep my body in shape," Tsitsipas claimed.

"That’s something that’s really challenging right now – trying not to get lazy and do nothing. It’s quite tricky. You don’t want to gain more weight, you don’t want to lose muscle and flexibility. All of that is crucially important for you to maintain your good shape. You always have to find solutions and ways to maintain your body and be mentally and physically fit."
