Tsitsipas, the world's fourth, withdrew from the Paris Masters and ATP Turin year-end finals at the end of this year due to an elbow injury. Even so, the 2021 season was a more positive year for the Greeks, who won his first Masters title at the Monte Carlo Masters and reached the men's singles final of the Grand Slam for the first time at the French Open.

Speaking to greek tv channel ANT1, Tsitsipas said: "At the Paris Masters, my elbow was so sore that I had to retire, I never withdrew in the middle of the game, it was a very painful memory for me because I had to quit that game and let the audience down. But for the sake of my body, I had to make such a choice, and I don't regret it. ”

Tsitsipas has recently resumed training after undergoing surgery at the end of November: "I still feel a little pain in training for the first few days, but I have felt better and better in the last five or six days. The injury is getting better and I'm doing everything I can to get myself back as quickly as possible. ”

Tsitsipas expressed his desire to achieve another good result in the 2022 season: "I will definitely return to the field in 100% form, my goal is to continue to move upwards, I hope that winter training can go smoothly, and the results of the new season will be three times better than this season." Overall, I'm happy with my current ranking, but I think I need to put in more effort to get better next season. I'm setting new goals to take myself a step further on my path as a professional player, to find where I can improve by one or five percent, and I believe my team can help me do that. ”

Tsitsipas' first leg of the new season will be the ATP Cup, and he will lead Greece again, which will take place from January 1 to 9.
