Stefanos Tsitsipas expresses his views on facing interviews

In a recent Instagram post, Tsitsipas opened up about his experience of dealing with interviews. While he believes some interviews test one’s patience, others force an individual to think really out of the box. He even mentioned that there are some interviews that one should not really care about.

“Sometimes interviews can stir your pot. Some can test your patience. And some can leave you blabbering about things you don?t have a care about,” wrote Tsitsipas in the caption of his Instagram post.

In tennis, there is a rule that every tennis player will have to face an interview or a press conference after the match. When Naomi Osaka tried to skip them citing her mental health issues during the time of the French Open 2021, she received a lot of backlash. The Japanese star had to ultimately withdraw from the Grand Slam.
