Tsitsipas in the 2021 season ended with an injury retirement, which was really sad.
In the Atp year-end finals in Turin last month, the 23-year-old Greek lost two 4-6 to Russian player Rublev in the first round and had no choice but to retire.
It is worth mentioning that this is the third time in his career to participate in the finals, and he has previously won the final championship in 2019.
Recently, Tsitsipas, who is in the offseason, revealed that he has operated on his elbow last month and is currently recovering.
For the upcoming 2022 season, he was born in 1998 and is optimistic.
"I'm recovering well from my elbow injury," Tsitsipas said in a recent interview with Greek television, "I'm sure I'm going to recover 100 percent." For next year's goals, I will definitely do better than this year. ”
This season, Tsitsipas has won 55 wins and 18 losses, and the year-end ranking is fixed at 4th in the world. He expressed great regret about his retirement.
'I've never quit a race and disappointed the audience and I was very miserable myself."
Even if he did not draw a satisfactory end to his season journey, the Greeks reached the first Grand Slam final at this year's French Open, which is still remarkable.
On the way to the final, the Greeks defeated Medvedev and Zverev and finally met Djokovic in the final.
At the beginning of the game, he showed a strong competitiveness, winning the first two sets 7:6, 6:2. Just one set away from winning the Grand Slam title, the Serbs fought back, and in the end the Greeks lost the significant five-set battle and finished second.
Commenting on the defeat, Tsitsipas said: "Overall, I am satisfied with my performance. I think if I want to go further next year, I have to take my form to the next level and try to win next year. ”
As we all know, winning a Grand Slam under the pinch of the Big Three is not an easy task. At present, only Tim and Medvedev have achieved this feat in the post-90s players.
Next, whether Tsitsipas can successfully break through and replicate the miracle of his peers remains to be seen. However, he himself has a lot of confidence in his team.
"In the offseason, I need to set new goals and rely on harder training to achieve my dreams. Of course, I will also get encouragement and help from my team, who will be one of the important factors in realizing my dreams. (Source: Tennis House Author: Wu Li Fun)
