Jannik Sinner models Stefanos Tsitsipas: “I figured out how to win”

A colleague and rival to be modeled after.

Stefanos Tsitsipas sees Jannik Sinner as an example, on par with Carlos Alcaraz, from whom to take inspiration in winning prestigious matches and tournaments on the ATP circuit. This was stated by the Greek tennis player himself, speaking to the press after his clear victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis in the Laver Cup. Indeed, the successes of his young colleagues represent a spur for him to continue raising the personal bar of ambition.

"Seeing that Sinner and Alcaraz win Slams è something great for the entire tennis movement,” said Tsitsipas. “Jannik and Carlos are teaching all of us what it takes to be in the position now occupied by them. They both play with great strength, they hit the ball unbelievably well. Right now they are among the most aggressive tennis players on the entire ATP" circuit.

A strength and consistency, those of Sinner and Alcaraz, that are inspiring Tsitsipas as well. "They teach us that you have to try for real,” the Greek stressed. “You do this to win a Slam, an appointment that you cannotò approach too passively. Be aggressive and always attack: this è the solution".

It should be remembered that the four 2024 tournaments valid for the Grand Slam have all already been awarded, and they went two to Sinner and two to Alcaraz. The new that is advancing, and which Tsitsipas also wants to join once and for all: "Thanks to them we have understood what the answer is to winning Slams. The big wins, the ones that define your career, you get the way these two do".
