“It’s one of the best indoor tournaments. I’m going to try hard and change a few things to potentially have a breakthrough in Rotterdam,” the next-gen star said in the pre-tournament press conference.

Tsitsipas played his first ATP Tour match in Rotterdam three years ago when he just came out of the juniors. He was awarded a wild card by Tournament Director Richard Krajicek. The memories still bring smiles on Tsitsipas’ face as it was really big for him.

“I’m always happy to be in Rotterdam, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a win here – three years in a row,” he said.
