Stefanos Tsitsipas has all the tools that are required to become the next big thing in tennis. World number 6 has already won five singles titles on the ATP tour and reached ten finals. However, the only thing that he lacks is a good grand slam record.

His best performance till now has been a semi-final finish at the Australian Open 2019. In fact, he has often found himself unlucky on the big stage, where several lower-ranked players surpass him.

The Greek star opened up on his bad luck at grand slams.

What did Stefanos Tsitsipas say?

This is what Tsitsipas had to say about his grand slam record –

I had a really bad match at Wimbledon which was quite unlucky for me. I played a lot of matches last year. That bad match happened at Wimbledon against Thomas Fabbiano (losing in five sets in the first round). I wasn’t very happy with myself I have high expectations of myself. Wimbledon is a tournament I love playing. I just disappointed myself.”

After talking about Wimbledon, Stefanos also talked about his US Open performances –

I really don’t know what to say about the US Open. I think I was quite unlucky also with the draw at the US Open. I played Andrey Rublev, who was in top form at that period of time. I felt like we’re quite equal in that particular moment. There were just a few points I didn’t play correctly, and he used the upper hand and won in four sets. That was a match I was a bit stressed about playing. I had a bad loss at Wimbledon. It affected me a lot. But despite that, I didn’t really play a bad first round at the US Open.”
