Stefanos Tsitsipas has had a mixed start to the 2022 season. The Greece national lost his opening match of the new season in the ATP Cup, only to come back stronger and win his next game. Further, he has continued the winning momentum into the Australian Open 2022. The 4th seed is into the quarterfinals of the opening Grand Slam of the season and is currently battling it out against Italian Jannik Sinner.

Moreover, Tsitsipas has started the match brightly and currently has a 2-set advantage. Further, his displays at the ‘Happy Slam’ have invited words of appreciation from Mats Wilander, the Swedish former World No. 1.

What did Mats Wilander say about Stefanos Tsitsipas?

The Swedish was full of praise for the World No. 4. He said, “What he does better than all the other players on the tour, which is still why I have to say that he is my favorite player to watch is that he takes time away and he goes to the net and he goes to the net enough where he puts fear in his opponent.”

Further, he added, “He is naturally at the net when he needs to be, even serve and volleying on the second serve. So he is completely playing aggressive tactics, but he is also executing really well right now.”
