“I’ve always had in mind is to win a Grand Slam” – Stefanos Tsitsipas

In the podcast, Tsitsipas like many others is perplexed. His ultimate goal is to win a Grand slam but currently, due to the pandemic, everything seems foggy. He has won some big titles in 2019 so he would love to win a Grand slam this year.

“My goals so far, they are unclear. We don’t really know what’s going to happen in the next few months. For sure my goal that I’ve always had in mind is to win a Grand Slam. But I don’t want to apply or put too much pressure to myself.” he said

Obviously, in these troubled times, players will have an added psychological pressure. And so many might not perform at their optimal level. Tsitsipas wants to enjoy every moment on the court so he would want to be free of such pressures.

“It is important for me to enjoy every single moment. I love the game and I love it, even more, when I get to be out there like enjoy the way I am enjoying right now. It’s amazing.” he added
