The Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas He appeared before the media at a press conference to analyze what his feelings are after the defeat suffered in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2021, a tournament where he had many options and where he was once again on the verge of reaching the grand final.
Disappointed to lose a unique opportunity to advance to the final of a Grand Slam, the Greek did not want to go into details of how the match evolved: “I have nothing to say about it. Everyone has seen what has happened on the court. I am the last person you should ask the reason why my opponent managed to win in three sets. I went out focused on the match and Daniil played his game, something that earned him the victory in three sets. It doesn’t matter much if he had I managed to win the third set, since I had hardly any energy to fight for the match. I think the match was decided in the first two sets. “
The final will be Novak Djokovic vs Daniil Medvedev, for many the final dreamed of seeing the level with which both players reached: “I would not be surprised at all if Daniil was proclaimed champion of the Australian Open. This tournament is strange. A couple of years ago , Nadal defeated me decisively in the semifinals and I bet on him in the final of the tournament and finally ended up making a mistake. I don’t know who will win. Djokovic is also playing very well, so I don’t know. It would be good for Medvedev and for tennis that come out as champion. “
The Greek praised the good work of his rival throughout the match: “Let me tell you that Medvedev is a player who has been incredible throughout the game. He knew how to read the game perfectly. He played with his serve very well, perhaps approaching a little to John Isner. Then from the back of the court he is incredible and he returns every ball to you. You have to work very hard if you want to earn him points. You can see a lot that he is working in training and that good streak of results is coming in handy in the mental aspect “.
Things learned in this tournament
Despite having remained at the gates of being able to fight for his first Grand Slam title, the Greek does not lower his arms: “I have learned a lot from all these years that I have stayed so close. It is a shame to lose in this way, already that one always dreams of winning a tournament of these characteristics. At the beginning of the tournament you don’t think much about it, but as you progress through the rounds and get closer to the end, different thoughts start to appear. Your aspirations and dreams are close to becoming reality Playing a semifinal is very difficult and I just need to find a way to break this bad streak and move on. I know that I have enough level to beat the best players on the circuit. As Wawrinka says: ‘I tried it once, ever failed, never mind, try again … failed better. ‘Hopefully next time things will go better for me. “
Finally, Stefanos Tsitsipas answered the question about whether this Australian Open has been his best Grand Slam: “I am one of those who think that every Grand Slam is different. I really enjoyed the last edition of Roland Garros. I was at the gates of playing the final and it was two incredible weeks I had in Paris. I felt very good in every game and it was probably one of the best tournaments I played in, “concluded the Greek player.
