Stefanos Tsitsipas reveals he will be focused on limiting his number of unforced errors when he meets Novak Djokovic next time as the Greek thinks that could be the key to him enjoying more success against the top players.
Tsitsipas, 24, made his second Grand Slam final at this year's Australian Open.
Tsitsipas, who was beaten by Djokovic in the 2021 French Open final, was again beaten by the Serb as the 35-year-old beat the Greek in the 2023 Australian Open final 6-3 7-6 (4) 7-6 (5).
Although Djokovic clinched a straight-set win over Tsitsipas, it is not that the Greek stood no chance against the Serb.
However, failing to come up big when it mattered the most ultimately cost Tsitsipas.
Tsitsipas on how to reach the Djokovic level"Just giving away less unforced errors. I feel like I had mentioned against top guys that especially finals, I’ve lost a few of them. I’ve lost finals in my opinion that I shouldn't have lost. I wouldn’t blame it on nerves because it is not nerves. I am ready for these matches. I feel like I'm giving away unforced errors making them feel a little bit more comfortable of what they should feel like. I know I have big shots. It's just a matter of how I’m going to utilize them correctly. But it’s just deeper than that. It's not as easy as I make it look like in my head," Tsitsipas said on Tennis Channel, per Sportskeeda.
Also, Tsitsipas revealed he is looking up to David Ferrer and how the Spaniard was able to win points and ultimately matches.
"I don’t know if you remember David Ferrer. Such a good groundstroke player. I respect him a lot because he makes tennis look so, of course, hard, but it’s also so simple in a way to look at. You don’t have to do something crazy to win the point. So, if I’m able to install that little bit more into my game and also work on my serve in which I believe I still have potential there. The returns have been a big sort of a gap. If I’m able to close that miss less on the returns and sort of play them deeper, I can see a big difference in my game in terms of level raising," Tsitsipas said.
