It was a big storm in Greece, Tsitispas admitted. I dont really remember that well the fourth round or the quarters, or whatever. I remember the finals. Everyone was watching. Everyone. That was every inspiring to see.
Around that age I started playing tennis. It made me love the sport even more having faith and maybe doing something similar one day. Like him. Commenting furthermore on his relationship with Baghdatis, Tsitsipas added: Were really good friends.
Especially now hes giving me tips, trying to help me as much as he can. Its really nice to have him next to me because Ive been idolising him my whole life. Ive never really thought of him being so close to me.
That would be the coolest thing ever. Hes close with me. We even arranged a couple of times to play doubles together this year so its nice. On his passion for photography, Tsitsipas concluded: I enjoy doing it.
I consider it a hobby. I think film making is something extraordinary you have a voice. You create your own story. I really feel like I can discover myself from film making and photography. Its a great way of expressing myself.
