Stefanos Tsitsipas said he was rediscovering the mindset that once fuelled his best Grand Slam runs after drawing on his past experiences at Wimbledon to seal a 6-1 6-4 6-2 victory over Frenchman Hugo Gaston in the first round on Monday.
Tsitsipas’ Throwback Mentality
Tsitsipas removed his father and coach Apostolos from his team on the eve of the grasscourt major, but did not let the change affect him as he made it into the second round for the first time since 2024.
“I’m missing the way I’ve been playing the last couple of years. And today while I was on the court, I was thinking of the great fights I’ve had previously at Wimbledon,” Tsitsipas told reporters.
The twice Grand Slam finalist, who has not gone beyond the fourth round of Wimbledon, said he would continue to tap into the past to see where it would take him this time.
