In the world of sports, it is not always high for an athlete, and they usually face more lows than moments of glory. A heartbroken Stefanos Tsitsipas gave a few insights on the evolution of change and how it is constantly changing one’s fortune.

The Greek was up against top-ranked American Taylor Fritz in the fourth round of the Australian Open. Fighting hard, Tsitsipas gave it his all, but his game wasn’t on point, which allowed Fritz to capitalize and win the match.

Admitting to taking some time to reflect, the Greek goes on to explain the concept of change and how it is constantly changing. He lucidly explains that nothing is constant and one must keep on working to be better. 

Change is always constant. One day you're in the top 10, the other day you're not there anymore, so you have to keep on working and allowing yourself to flourish through these experiences, allow yourself to sort of seek all these moments that have been working for you over the last few years, give it another shot time after time.
Said Stefanos Tsitsipas to the Australian Open press.

Allowing this loss to sink in, the Greek aims to improve and give it another shot in the next tournament.

Talking about the hardships of being an athlete, Tsitsipas rightfully explained the constant disappointment an athlete faces, which overweighs the small glory of victory. 

When in a competitive sport like tennis, Tsitsipas revealed that there are more off days than glory days. With constant fighting to be at the top, it is hard to get the glory, and one usually faces more disappointment in their career. 

Tsitsipas himself has not won a Slam yet and takes a loss as a chance to evolve. Having not tasted victory on the big stage, the Greek aims to improve and return stronger. Nonetheless, the Australian Open goes on as the remaining players battle it out for a spot in the quarterfinals.

The draw only gets harder as the top players come out on top. Having beaten Tsitsipas, American Taylor Fritz moves on to face the beast himself, Novak Djokovic. With the matches promising to be more interesting, the fans gear up for a whole week of entertainment.
