As the French Open returns, players also return with the hope to lift the trophy here at the clay-court tournament in front of the world and to make a name for themselves. One of the finalists from last year here Stefanos Tsitsipas speaks up about the challenges and the ways to succeed at the Roland Garros.
He was two sets to 0 up against the veteran Novak Djokovic in the finals last year before losing out to him in the 5 set marathon between the two. He wasn’t able to believe his luck and looked shattered into pieces but will now look to make his mark again here and take his revenge and get the better of him this time.
Success mantra at French Open according to Stefanos Tsitsipas
The 2021 French Open finals was the first Grand Slam final for Stef and winning two sets against Djokovic was an achievement in itself but the Greek is not satisfied with the runners-up trophy and wants the Grand Slam title for himself. With the surface at the major also one of the trickiest, Stef talked about what makes the Grand Slam one of the most difficult one to win.
In a recent interview, he stated, “It’s a marathon that I have to run. Roland Garros is a marathon Grand Slam. Every Grand Slam is a marathon Grand Slam, but specifically Roland Garros. It really takes the most out of you spiritually and physically when you’re out on the court. Clay court has this ability to really squeeze every single part of you. You have to leave it, your all, out there.”
With a good run in the Golden Swing in his preparation for the major, Stef is certainly one of the contenders for this year at Roland Garros. With successful title defence in Monte-Carlo and a runner-up finish in Rome Masters along with deep runs in Barcelona and Madrid, Stef will fancy his chances as he also has the big task of defending 1200 points.
