Stefanos Tsitsipas is ready to make his first match at the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters 2023. A few days before his start in the tournament that he has won twice in his career, Tsitsipas gave an interview to Sky Sport Italia, where he talked about a sport other than tennis: he talked about soccer and above all Serie A or rather, whose top league I occupied until last year.
In fact, the player has revealed that he supports a particular team from the Italian Serie A championship and it is not a team from the top division: the finalist of the Roland Garros and the Australian Open has revealed that he supports Genoa.
He told: “I have supported the Griffon (the nickname of Genoa – ed.) since I was a child. The passion started with videogames: I decided they would be my Italian team to cheer on.” Through the microphones of Sky Sport, then, Tsitsipas also launches an appeal to the Genoa club: “One day, I would very much like to be able to go to see a match at the Marassi Stadium and cheer for them.” It were the video games for Stefanos Tsitsipas, who usually trains with soccer team shirts, especially European ones.
Looking for title number 3
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the holder of the Monte-Carlo title and has won back-to-back here. In 2023, he is looking for the hat-trick, starting the clay season in the best possible way. Stefanos said: “It’s a pleasure to be back playing on clay.
it’s one of the most fascinating parts of the year, starting the clay court swing in Monte-Carlo, which is the my favorite place in the world. I’m looking to win three titles. But I won’t take too long to think about it. I feel reassured by the fact that we can start playing on clay again,” continued the second seed of the first ATP 1000 tournament on this surface, as reported by the ATP website. Present in the lower part of the board, he is waiting to meet his opponent at the start.
