The 23-year-old Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas underwent surgery to treat his right elbow in an operation that took place in Switzerland.
The weather in Tsitsipas
The end of the year has not been easy for the fourth player in the world due to problems in his right elbow that made him not be at 100%. It has been a season in which the first half was spectacular but not being able to win that first Grand Slam final that he played at Roland Garros, prevented him from reaping better results although he reached the semifinals at the Masters 1000 in Canada and Cincinnati. However, from the ATP 500 in Vienna he had more and more problems with that elbow that did not allow him to finish his first round meeting at the Masters 1000 in Paris and then after playing his first match against Andrey Rublev in the Nitto ATP Finals, He decided to retire to conclude his campaign.
Your payback times
Weeks later he has decided to undergo surgery. He confirms that everything has gone correctly although he expects a quick recovery since in two weeks he wants to start his preseason to be able to get to the Australian Open in the best way, having two weeks before traveling to the oceanic continent. In that first ‘major’ that takes place in Melbourne, he will have to defend the semifinals after that great match in which he beat Rafa Nadal two adverse sets. Then he had to succumb to a very good version of Daniil Medvedev. If all goes well, the Hellenic will compete in his first ATP Cup tournament of 2022 representing Greece as he has been doing in recent years. Good form to prepare for Melbourne, being his first big goal.
