In a press conference at the Australian Open, revealed he had planned to play with in the tournament this year. In the end, they did not make it because Baghdatis had different plans.
I asked him the other day, I sent him a message one week ago asking him if hes going to play doubles because we were going to playing doubles here. It was all arranged, said Tsitsipas. He loves qualies, but I was expecting hes going to stay to play.
Then he texted me and said that he was actually in Cyprus. I had no clue, yeah, that were not going to play doubles. We withdrew from doubles. I actually think its a good idea. I will actually thank him later that he left for Cyprus.
I think it definitely helped than having to stay and play doubles. Waste of energy. I havent talked to him, got in touch with him. But Im pretty sure hes happy. We are good friends, so I want the best for him, as well.
Hes been playing years on the tour. I still want him to do well. I think he deserves to be playing well. He has a good game. Im pretty sure he wants the same for me, so its a nice connection that we have. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
