Tsitsipas: We should respect Djokovic's right to privacy

Tsitsipas

Tsitsipas, who is now the world's fourth, underwent an elbow injury in November and was sidelined from the Paris Masters and turin year-end finals due to injuries, the second consecutive year that the Greeks suffered an injury problem at the end of the season. In a recent interview, Tsitsipastein said he had been battling pain for the past two years.

"I think it was necessary to have this surgery because I was able to feel the constant pain during the game and I was always trying to limit myself to my elbows." Tsitsipas said in an interview, "I hope to be able to get back on the field as soon as possible, but I am also afraid of a recurrence of injury, so I chose to undergo this surgery. Now I don't feel any pain when I play, it's amazing. ”

Tsitsipas says he will face a whole new challenge after the surgery: "Now I'm going to face a new problem because I realize that I changed my playing style because of my elbow injury, and now I don't have to worry about it anymore, it's like starting over for me. It has been very difficult for me to have been battling pain for the last two years. ”

In addition, Tsitsipas also talked about whether Djokovic will participate in the Australian Open, the tournament director said that unless the players have medical exemptions, they must be vaccinated, and Djokovic has not yet revealed whether he will be vaccinated. In the case that Djokovic has officially announced his withdrawal from the ATP Cup, Serbian media reported that he still has a high probability of participating in the Australian Open.

Tsitsipas said he needed to respect Djokovic's right to privacy: "I will not encourage people to get vaccinated, I will not oppose vaccines, I respect everyone's choice." I'm an athlete, not a doctor, so I may not be right about it. I get vaccinated to be able to live a normal life, but everyone has the right to make their own decisions. I think we have to respect Novak's (Djokovic)'s choice. ”
