“The reason why I am doing this is to refresh myself, to kind of bring myself closer to people that matter to me and not concentrate on people that I don’t know and don’t really have anything to do with me. By doing this, I will have more time for my loved ones and people I really care about,” Tsitsipas explained to his followers.

The 2019 Australian Open semifinalist concluded,  “It’s something I don’t think I will regret it because it’s like detox and I am sure it is going to make me feel better, I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t.  It’s something to kind of give a new idea of what we are all used to do on a daily basis.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas will next feature at the 2019 Laver Cup, which is scheduled to start from September 20. The next-gen star is placed in Team Europe at the Laver Cup and will share the dressing room with Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Fabio Fognini, Alexander Zverev, and Dominic Thiem.
