The Laver Cup is one of those tournaments that gives high-level players the opportunity to share a common goal, as throughout the rest of the year they compete against each other. And Stefanos Tsitsipas appreciates being able to experience that up close and having players like Carlos Alcaraz nearby to learn from them. He confessed this to TennisTV. "Observing Carlos Alcaraz, seeing him from that angle, is very different from watching him on television or in any other type of competition. I don't usually get so close to other high-level players like him. Now he is one of the best players in the world, he won two Grand Slams this year, and for me, he is an example. I want to follow in his footsteps, watch him play live, and see what kind of behavioral patterns and body language he shows on the court. It is definitely something that I try to imitate and introduce into my own game," he said.

"So, for me, the Laver Cup is not just about the team experience, but we are always trying to discover together, and I believe there is a lot of depth in that. You see things that you don't normally see," added the Greek.
