Stefanos Tsitsipas Press Conference | Australian Open 2025 First Round

[@urai87]

Dude basically this guy is saying I’m not as good to keep up with these new gen players. He’s stuck in his past glories which unfortunately were not wins but GS finalists. He’s like in a situation as Alexander Zverev but he’s not better than him. He admitted he’s not hitting as “flat and through the ball” as before bc he doesn’t think it’d be effective in today’s tennis. BUT that’s his game! That’s when he is the best. I love watching Stefanos and I know a lot of people just don’t like this guy bc he comes off so arrogant even when he loses… but his game is so fucking beautiful. His game is still there, he needs to fix his mind.

[@DJSnafu]

I fuylly agree...his assessment is more worrying than the loss. he needs a real coach, not just the local Greek guy

[@tennisfan599]

Beautiful lol. This guy has done the impossible. He has made the one handed backhand look ugly.

[@snowmori6400]

​@@tennisfan599he has a different idea of what's beautiful i guess hahaha. Sissypants' BH is the worst!

[@nicholasmorre7371]

hear hear

[@joshct9426]

Well said. I've been a big fan of his game since his 1st AO but it looks like he will never be a real contender again

[@CrescentRollCarl]

Its been many years where the players sound only comes out of the left speaker on these press conferences. Its a very trivial fix, just make that microphone mono, and problem solved. I don't understand why years go by and the same problem every year. Only at the AO.

[@ww9452]

Sounds fine what r u talking about?

[@KarmaticEvolution]

@@ww9452he’s talking about sound coming on one side of the speaker, you might be watching ôm a device that is not separating the sound.

[@superMarwin12345]

fr Im about to make an application as media manager there lol

[@Dreamcatcher9000]

It's actually the right speaker, not the left. But yes, it's annoying. And the answer to your question is: they just don't care. For them, it's just an insignificant detail.

[@draganajankovic9875]

Stefanos needs to hire a professional coach .

[@Giotopoulostennis94]

I know his Coach at the moment...he doesn't know how the racket shape is...and he never played a single match

[@nederlanditis8154]

poor choice of sun protection.

[@nicholasmorre7371]

He has a beautiful game in many ways. I hope he figures out how to make it effective again.

[@ABC060491]

Stef needs a sports psychologist. His game is not the issue, it's the mind-space he's in. Hope to see him back repping the beautiful but endangered OHBH at the highest level.

[@southpawjab4749]

Tsitsipas doesn't want the time off because he's scared of what he might find if he self-reflects. Let's go back to Socrates: "beware the barrenness of a busy life". He has been busy padding his stats with tournament after tournament each year but has not really focused on growing his game at all, and now he is being overtaken. If he continues down the same road without some serious thought about his game he will be outside the top 50 by the end of 2026.

[@soulfood2453]

Wdym by padding his stats

[@southpawjab4749]

@@soulfood2453 Using points he gets in tournaments to inflate his ranking.

[@chrisstrifas2462]

It is really tough to watch. I have been a Tsitsipas watcher and supporter for so many years. As a fan you need wins as well to be able to keep supporting and cheering. So many Greek flags of support in the stands once again left with a disappointing first round loss. Many blame the coaching, but Tsitsipas is a prime example that sometimes tremendous talent is not always enough. With low expectations of Sakkari to move far in the tournament as well, it feels like a once revered Greek tennis dynasty is coming to an end, sadly to say

[@albertsun8822]

He hasn’t improved full stop, if anything his game has regressed. While the game is constantly advancing with players constantly improving. His cooked.

[@SonyCamry]

Yep cooked His window to win anything is over.

[@aldobonaso3481]

He looks cooked by the sun 😂

[@marytroup5216]

He is an Insulin Diabetic ….he may well need some change in his tennis diabetic regime …that and a new coach would be great .

[@bmo23bj]

Man Stef need a lot of help!! If you wanna make a name for yourself just versus that guy at a Slam easy wins he be giving out. He needs to find a real coach n change his backend ASAP!

[@kiki-Yhwh]

love you stef 💙 only up from here

[@TheJefffry]

Very honest and humble perspective.

[@wheresbaby7783]

I think he is a good guy

[@MusicMendicant]

Love you Stef ❤ Hope you figure it out & get your mojo back

[@KCNwokoye]

Honest assessment. You will get better. It's a long year. I have a feeling Alcaraz will also lose early this year given that he's in the middle of new improvements that haven't taken effect.

[@robk5745]

Well said sir, agree with it all

[@johnharding7650]

Mickelson was just too good

[@geoairtravel]

Oh no Stef 🇬🇷😮🥺 !!! People, don't be harsh on him.

[@sashashaikh111]

3 GS in a row couldn't get past the 2nd round........

[@PurabEditz]

People should be harsh on him, he's a consistent top 20 player, should atleast be making 4th round.

[@backto-il9ne]

Tsitsi, buddy, use some sunscreen and some moisturizer. Looking like a grilled steak out here smh Best of luck for the rest of the year.

[@Marcus-r2e]

that was an honest press conference. but I feel a little bit sad when I see him on the court these days and even in this press conference. I thought he would have a brighter future in tennis.

[@diodoruscronus]

Sinner fan here..i like stefanos alot and i hate seeing him lose. But like rublev..he needs to find new confidence .

[@danielbarboiu2928]

Tsitsipas it's time to retire from tennis or take a 1-year break to recover, too many humiliations lately

[@hg82met]

He needs sunscreen - and a new coach.

[@JokerCat9]

Brutal tan line on the forehead.

[@hsedo2126]

Rough as guts

[@SonyCamry]

This guy is cooked The grand slam window is over for him Probably Greece's only chance in 100 years

[@Dreamcatcher9000]

I guess he will never forget the French Open final of 2021. Just 1 set away from winning a Grand Slam. That was his chance. But now, him winning a Grand Slam, against all those "beasts" (of the new and his own generation), seems quite impossible. It will be very surprising if he ever reaches a semi final in a Grand Slam again. But even that seems highly unlikely. Like you said, he missed his chance, when he was younger, better, and HUNGRIER. Now, he's already too old to catch up.

[@SonyCamry]

@Dreamcatcher9000 yep

[@superMarwin12345]

his game feels kind of outdated now

[@DavidHaidar-pj4bd]

I think he is distracted with badosa😂😂

[@guidodelgiudice5]

How do you get a journalist credit without speaking proper English?

[@GT-fx8fd]

Kid just needs time to grow after his long long time under Daddy’s tight grip in a psychotic toxic parental world.

[@michael8597]

Simply he lost to a player who was playing the match of his life. Tstispas never played badly, but still couldn't make it more competitive. When bad luck comes, it would be in torrents. 😂

[@haipingwang7075]

He is honest the game now trends on more backhand exchanges , which hurts one hand backhands

[@wtfa2910]

Your grand slam finalists and all I hear is excuses

[@mckolt8]

need to work on his backhand and second serve and physical and calendar you show up wiith no preparation exhibition is not a preparation and am sorry the tour remains the same as 10 years ago Nishikori is a good example played chalengers 250 atp tours and now qualified for the second round No excuse !

[@nightowldickson]

What happened to his face, he got burnt by his opponent and by the sun...

[@joshct9426]

Poor sissy losing 1R. I didn't see it coming. He's really starting to slip with all these young guns coming up

[@howiespancakeshack]

Burnipas.

[@Erik83474]

I hear a man who's losing his motivation.... Sad.

[@tennisfan599]

Its was a good run. Steph has the legendary one handed backhand which according to legend is the mark of a true champion

[@tennisfan599]

Deep run for sure

[@atomics.h.1824]

It is all Badosa's fault

[@ayatakano123]

Quit blaming women for men being below average

[@vijayendranvijay4538]

Players like tsitsipas have made a player like novak mentally strong and also motivated him to win FREE SLAMS😂😂

[@user-wd7ue1wd6r]

When you have snowflake Roger as your idol, this is what happens to players. They end up playing exhibition tennis 😂

[@minguyen2589]

@2:42 these kinda attitude makes him a loser, ofcourse he is salty after losing 2 GS Finals to Nole, with RG leading 2-0; the difference is Novak went out to dominate against Tsitsi and win more GS since then, whereas Tsitsi is now unrecognizable shadow of himself

[@ronnie9077]

hes referring to his win over Djokovic in Toronto 2018 bro, not the RG final

[@mikelepadovano9802]

Can’t stand this guy never liked him

[@bevb5190]

Then why are you watching his press conference or even commenting then. Leave this space to his fans .

[@mikelepadovano9802]

Ohhh I disagree I love tenis and he acted bad on so many occasions so I am gonna leave comments like this and i truelly hope he never wins GS

[@keijimuto]

Does he always come up with excuses?
