Tsitsipas: "I try to improve in all aspects of my game"

The Greek team was strong on the court with a Maria Sakkari and a Stefanos Tsitsipas who brought their best level to light in that decisive doubles tiebreak to thus close a more than intense day. The two Greek players come with very different personal situations, but with the same objective of fighting for the title for their country and gaining the best preparation for the Australian Open.

MARIA SAKKARI

"About my individual performance? I have no comments," Maria said with laughter. "About my doubles performance? I want to say that I am very, very happy with how we recovered after losing the first set, how we regained momentum, and how we felt on the court. I think it was an important victory for the future. I am very happy that we managed to win the tie. Thank you, Stef, for winning in singles."

"For my next match, I would like to improve basically everything. Obviously, I should not have high expectations because I have not played a singles match since the Olympics. I won't count the US Open. It's been a long time. I have been training very well for a long time, and my level has been better than ever in training. I think it will come at some point. I just have to keep trusting myself, keep going for my shots. At the beginning of the match, I was very hesitant, a bit stiff and tense I would say. I really believe I can get back to where I was."

STEFANOS TSITSIPAS

"I had a solid match against Carreño Busta. I have played against him before and I know his capabilities as a tennis player. I was trying to impose my game. I have a great attacking game with which I can go very far if I am consistent, if I can follow it with discipline. That's what I was trying to do. It went well towards the end. I had some good solutions in the third set. I think my level peaked there, I started to find my shots, to align with my footwork. From there, I felt really focused, getting into the zone, as they say. I felt unbreakable. I think I owe the victory undoubtedly to that feeling I had when I entered the zone. That's when I reached my peak level," Stefanos commented on his match.

"Personally, I try to improve in all aspects of my game. It's disappointing because I think I could have served a little better. There were times when I felt my percentages could have been better in singles, but also in doubles, especially when I was serving on the advantage side. There were some moments when I might have missed too much, especially when I'm used to having a different outcome."
