World No. 2 Naomi Osaka is yet to begin her clay-court season. However, the Japanese star is training quite hard on green clay and will hope to perform well on that surface this time. She didn’t do well at the Miami Open 2021 and will want to turn the tables around in the clay-court season.

Recently, World No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas also came forward and admitted that he has started meditating. In an interview, he mentioned that it was his sports psychologist, Kostas Pergantis, who helps him with breathing exercises and meditation.
Clearly, the result is visible as the Greek player recently won the Monte Carlo Masters 2021. On the other hand, Djokovic is already the No. 1 player and has won 18 Grand Slams in his career so far.
Tsitsipas is currently playing at the Barcelona Open 2021. He’ll be up against Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals today. Will he be able to win back-to-back titles on clay by conquering Barcelona this year?
