Tsitsipas and the level shift, which is the first thing that comes to mind

Yes, Tim is not in the best shape of his career. Yes, Murray isn’t at the level he was after going through a lot and neither is time his ally.

However, none of this detracts from Stefanos Tsitsipas’ two big reversals, which also show him the way on the lawn.

Many will be stuck on the 24-year-old Greek tennis player’s wins and overall picture in those two games. However, there is something that cannot be ignored.

Finally he kept a cool head

In both the match with Tim and the match with Murray, Stefanos Tsitsipas managed to keep his composure and concentrate on what was happening on the pitch.

Yes, there were a few small moments when he took flight again, but he stayed true to his pre-race plans and managed to emerge victorious.

It may sound like an exaggeration, but in such a highly competitive individual sport, perhaps the greatest part of success (besides talent and work) lies in mental management.

There Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer melted their opponents during matches and drove them to despair.

In theory, if you do everything perfectly and the opponent manages to get the points, then it’s difficult to do it all and it takes a lot of strength to endure it.

Against both Thiem and Murray, Tsitsipas remained focused even in moments when it seemed difficult to bend his opponents, although he did many things almost perfectly and justified.

He wants to do it his way

Another thing that became clear in both games is that Tsitsipas makes life or death decisions through his own style of play.

He wants to be dominant. The desire to be the one who decides the fate of a game is clear and for this reason it is as aggressive as possible.

However, this is not always possible and, more importantly, it will not always be effective. Against Murray, for example, he finished the match with 90 winners (!), of which only 16 were aces.

Last but not least, it shows his desire to dominate on the pitch. Of course, that brought mistakes and, once again, these came mainly from his backhand.

At this level, 54 unforced errors is a lot and data will hurt him in another game.

Guide to 5th Movement Continuation with Murray

If he has to take anything away from playing with Murray at a competitive level, it’s the image he had in the fifth set.

Apart from getting his only break in the game against the Brit, Stefanos Tsitsipas also had two stats to keep for the future.

His first serves so far may have been 62%, but he had the amazing Behind are 94% points gained (16/17).

At the same time, unlike the rest of the game, he was completely dominant at net, scoring the point 10 out of 12 times he went to net.

However, if there’s one thing he needs to improve ahead of reaching Wimbledon and the rest of the tournament, it’s his second serve rate.

Even in the 5th set, where his stats were almost flawless, he barely managed that 36% (4/11), a particularly low percentage for the level at which he can play.

What will stop his course at Wimbledon I have no idea but given the facts he needs to finally lay the groundwork for the next step in the right way. Bad lies, Tsitsipas has his mind set on a big “must do” that comes with his big dreams.

It is right to chase your dreams and force them to come true before the time is right. Tsitsipas has all the makings for the next step but needs to find the right path.

After all, what he’s already achieved isn’t just small, and the fact that he’s been consistently in the top ten for years shows a lot. Even if fans of the titles forget it, as in the case of Maria Sakkari.
