Stefanos Tsitsipas On Elon Musk

Since many tennis players have been hosting live chats with others, Naomi Osaka and Stefanos Tsitsipas decided to have one. In the chat, Osaka asked Tsitsipas why he is a fan of Elon Musk. He replied by saying,

“Elon Musk is a bit of madman, a genius madman. He has weird tendencies from time to time and he has done some weird stuff in the past. But I really like his outlook on life. I mean before him rockets were all NASA-based but he commercialized them. And he has created completely electric cars. I really like these ideas.”

It is interesting to know that the Greek star looks up to people even outside tennis. It shows that you don’t have to be in the same field to appreciate what someone does and follow their path. And Stefanos wants to follow Elon’s path and excel in his own field which is tennis.

The Greek star along with some other players are expected to take over tennis once the ‘Big 3’ retire. But Stefanos does not want to wait for that to happen. He wants to break the dominance of the ‘Big 3’ and to do that he will need to win a Grand Slam.

He is probably training hard to make that happen and is waiting for the next opportunity to achieve this. Sadly, that opportunity is only going to come after a while as the ATP Tour has been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Tour is scheduled to return in August assuming the virus is contained by then. Hopefully, it is and then we can see Stefanos Tsitsipas break the reign of the ‘Big 3’.
