“I think he can turn it around, and I hope he does. ” Caroline Garcia also shared her views on where things stand for him. “Stefanos [Tsitsipas] had some great years in the past, was able to do some very good results against top players and reach finals of Slams,” she said.

“Last year he did a very good tournament in Dubai, kind of surprising everyone because he was in a moment of his career where everyone was doubting him a lot and then he did such a good result. “But I felt he struggled to confirm this form. In Miami, he had a very tough match against Arthur Fils… “From what I see most of the time, I would say sometimes for him, the game is getting too fast, especially on his backhand, and I’m not sure how he can get over that.
