Tsitsipas Adelaide Upset: Grand Slam Ambitions Remain

Entering this week on the ATP 250 in Adelaide after three victories in three matches at the United Cup, including one against Taylor Fritz, Stefanos Tsitsipas lost in the first round against the local and 87e mondial, Aleksandar Vukic : 7–6(3), 7–6(5).

During a press conference after this boring defeat six days before the start of the Australian Open, the Greek showed unshakeable confidence, particularly regarding his ability to perform in the Grand Slam.
