Tsitsipas recently honored the Big 4
After defeating Andy Murray in the second round of Wimbledon 2023, Stefanos Tsitsipas talked about the impact the Big 4 had on his career.”It is never easy against Andy.
I know everyone loves him here. It was a very difficult game and I was very impressed with his level.Having had two surgeries, I was very impressed with his level today and I wish him the very best. As I mentioned a few days ago, I had goosebumps when he won his first Wimbledon title here.
I felt for him, how much it meant, this courageous run that he had, I think in 2012 if I’m not wrong. He was part of the top four for a very long time and I looked up to him, I looked up to Novak, Roger and Rafa. These four guys shaped the game and they are the reason I am the player I am today,” Tsitsipas said after the match.Among the Big 4, only Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are still competing.
Rafael Nadal is set to come back in 2024 for one last hurrah. Nevertheless, in his Cincinnati final press conference, Djokovic identified who is Nadal’s successor. “I don’t think I’ve played too many matches like this in my life.
Maybe I can compare it to the final against Nadal at the 2012 Australian Open. Obviously, three sets today, but almost four hours. You just have to put your hats down to a guy like that.He plays so maturely, handles the pressure so well for a 20-year-old. We cannot forget how young he is. That’s something that is so impressive about him,” Djokovic said.
