Stefanos Tsitsipas has chosen the reformers’ camp. He took part in an exhibition tournament in Vienna, won by Carlos Alcaraz, as a prelude to the ATP 500. The principle? Best-of-three tiebreak matches, lasting 10 to 25 minutes. In an interview with Red Bull, the organizer of the event, the Greek stressed the need to reinvent tennis.
“It’s a new format, a faster format, a lot more exciting for the younger fans. There is energy, music, a lot of dynamism. It’s a breath of fresh air for tennis. It will revolutionize tennis, I would say, bring it to another dimension. I don’t think there is anything wrong with doing that. In today’s world everything goes very fast, there are a lot of distractions, everything tends to be faster. And the idea came from there, to make tennis much more exciting, with more energy and more intensity on each point.“, Estimated the world number 3.
A speech in line with that of Patrick Mouratoglou, to whom he is very close.
