Tsitsipas: “My doctor thought I wouldn’t play at the Australian Open, but I said no”
Stefanos Tsitsipas played one of his best matches against Sinner and qualified for the Australian Open semi-finals by refuting his doctor who said he couldn’t play like he did.
Stefanos Tsitsipas was the absolute leader on the Melbourne court against Janik Siner, who won 3-0 sets. As he admitted after the game ended, the odds of playing in Melbourne were not in his side as his doctor was not optimistic that he would make it.
“I’m sure my doctor is seeing me right now and messaging me like he does after every game. Neither of us expected to take part in the Open. He told me ‘I don’t see you play in Australia’ but I denied it. I love him very much, he’s a huge tennis fan and has worked a lot with tennis players so I’m happy to be working with him.
“I knew I was facing a very strong opponent and I had to focus on my good shots. I’m happy with my tactics and my service today. It’s incredible to have the support of the people every time I go on the pitch have. Everything is part of the game and the weather and everything. I knew I was going in the right direction in the game. I changed my pace a bit after the roof closed and it just worked.
I believe that games help you develop and give you experience. What I’m learning is that persistence is the key to staying humble. I don’t think much or little. “Let’s do it.”

Kalinskaya’s brother: “I think Anya will not change her citizenship. She loves Russia and wants to live here after finishing her career.”
Paris NN footballer Nikolai Kalinsky, brother of Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, believes that his sister will not change her sports citizenship.
Kalinskaya is 27 years old. She is ranked 33rd in the WTA rankings.
— When I saw that Anastasia Potapova decided to compete for Austria, I wanted to ask Anya what she would do if there was such an opportunity (to change citizenship). I haven’t had time to ask yet since we haven’t met. But I think that Anya will not change her citizenship. She loves Russia and wants to live here after finishing her career,” Sport24 quotes Kalinsky.
