Stefanos Tsitsipas pays tribute to Jannik Sinner: “With him Melbourne became epic.”

The journey è started again, but the great challenge of a year ago against the blue will not be erased.

Stefanos Tsitsipas pays tribute to Jannik Sinner, one of the opponents who parò on his way to the Australian Open final a year ago. In 2023, the Greek surrendered only to Novak Djokovic in the last act of the Melbourne tournament, where this year he has so far beaten Frenchman Luca Van Asche. And now, while waiting for his next challenge against Taylor Fritz, he has decided to focus his attention on the past.

"Last year it was a long way to the Australian Open final,‖ Tsitsipas recalled.

There were important moments, and also very emotional ones. One of them è was the match against Sinner. That was an epic day, like the match I played against him that day. Unforgettable also the semifinal with Khachanov, these are glorious experiences. And when I experience them I try to be humble and improve myself".

From Tsitsipas words of high praise also for his next opponent, Taylor Fritz: "He on serve è one of the best on the ATP tour. He has powerful strokes, runs well, è constant, very good in recovery. Against him I will have to è defend well and fight on every ball, from the beginning to the end of the match".
