The year 2020 will never be forgotten. A pandemic surfaced and the entire world went into a lockdown. Tennis suffered, Wimbledon forfeited this year’s event, and various others like Miami and Cincinnati too followed suit. The Greek-born Stefanos Tsitsipas highlighted the fact that things had taken a great toll mentally rather than physically.

The global landscape has changed due to COVID-19. The absence of these tournaments has given a majority of players a new perspective. Tsitsipas also admitted fatigue during the corona season.

“I feel good, I am not exhausted because I played a few tournaments,” said Tsitsipas on Sunday. “The part that makes it tiresome is the virus. Conditions are constantly changing, that’s the biggest challenge,” said Tsitsipas.

“Calm on the pitch gave me confidence” – Stefanos Tsitsipas

The Greek won the ATP World Tour Finals last season and isn’t shy of showcasing his talent on the bigger stages. The 22-year-old reflected on the current scenario of the coronavirus and said, “My attitude has improved a lot. My calm on the pitch gave me confidence in my abilities when there are tight moments.”
