He arrives at a somewhat strange moment. Stefanos Tsitsipas put an end to his bad streak with the Dubai trophy, an event in which he achieved success accompanied by a racket change. Afterward, the Greek obtained good results in the American tour, but now he returns home with a more complicated task: defending the trophy. The three-time ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo champion lands in Monaco with a certain tranquility, though confessing his major goal.

"It's a good feeling being in Monte Carlo; I enjoy the fact that I also live here, and it was the first tournament I came to watch tennis at when I was young. The classic Nadal-Federer finals I could witness were some of the most spectacular matches I've seen in my life. Being a champion here is something that makes me feel very good, and I want to try to add to those moments a legacy and build everything I can in terms of my career," the Greek confessed at the Monaco tournament's Media Day.

What is Tsitsipas' goal?

"My goal is to perform at my best in all clay court tournaments. I had a good start here and in Barcelona last year, but I didn't reach the point I wanted in the rest of the tournaments. Sometimes I played well, but there were some things I did wrong, from which I have learned. I want to get back to it and try to create a more consistent base of my results when it comes to clay courts and try to maximize my points. The quarterfinals at Roland Garros last year were a good result, but not what I was used to. I feel like my game has the potential to perform even better."

His perspective on the tennis players vs. Grand Slams dispute

Just days after the PTPA lawsuit, a letter from the circuit's top players requesting improvements in terms of both well-being and economic prizes came to light: "Players simply have to unite and speak with one voice on this issue. Sometimes I get the impression that tennis separates us from each other. The challenge is for all of us to come together and achieve what benefits us," Stefanos declared, as reported by L'Equipe.
