Tsitsipas: “It’s like playing at home, I hope to keep learning from Filippousis”

Stefanos Tsitsipas was completely satisfied with his win against Milos Raonic after the end of their match.

First, the 25-year-old Greek tennis player explained: “I am happy. It was nice to play such good tennis with a champion like Milos. I have great respect for what he has achieved over the years and for his personality.”

It wasn’t an easy fight. He had nothing to lose. I had to be there, focused from the first point and playing with the power. I did it and it worked.

On the presence of the Greeks on the platform: “When I see something like that, I feel at home. It’s always nice to play in front of the Greek crowd. I know we have a big community here just like in other parts of the world. I’m proud of my heritage and I hope to be here and represent it for the next two weeks.”.

In response to a question regarding the presence of Mark Filippoussi and Paula Bandosa in his box: “I love them both. It is a pleasure to have her by my side on this journey. I don’t know if that applies to her as well.”

I saw Mark when I was little and didn’t expect it to be like this. I look forward to continuing to learn from him. As for Paula, I’d say she’s local, she’s from here in New York.

Unfortunately she has an injury problem, I am by her side every day and she will come back stronger”
