2023, finally the right year for Stefanos Tsitsipas in Grand Slam? The Greek is in any case ambitious and over-motivated at the idea of going for a first ever Major title. And not only that. The world throne is also a nice goal for Tsitsipas, who is capable of being brilliant on all surfaces but who knows that a first Grand Slam title is essential to reach a new level. How do you get there? Perhaps by taking inspiration from Novak Djokovic. At least that’s the direction the world’s fourth-ranked player plans to take.
In an interview for the media Clay, Tsitsipas spoke about this inspiration of Novak Djokovic. “He is the most resilient and consistent. A perfectionist who has taken tennis to another level. His diet, his physical work, his resilience and his professionalism in all areas. I don’t think there is a single thing he overlooks. Even the analysis I’ve heard from him. Novak is an advanced person. Personally, I feel very inspired. I feel like there are a lot of these things I can put into my tennis, and increase the knowledge around my game. Once I figure that out and become more professional, even more than I already am, it won’t be an accident to get to the top spot. I know my abilities as an athlete and I know how hard I’ve worked.”
