Stefanos Tsitsipas picks Naomi Osaka's as his favorite tennis Twitter account, says he would not want to go on a road trip with his brother
World No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas has revealed that his favorite Twitter account related to tennis is Naomi Osaka's.
Tsitstipas was being interviewed by the Tennis Channel for their Confessional Cart segment and was asked a number of unconventional questions with each being assigned points. He had to choose between questions ranging from the easiest to the most difficult ones, with all the questions being assigned points.
One question was which tennis player's Twitter account he likes the most, to which his answer was Naomi Osaka.
A question that had Tsitsipas scratching his head was "who was the person he'd least like to go on a road trip with." The World No. 4 named his brother, saying he wouldn't talk throughout the trip.
"Oh, my god. Petros Tsitsipas because I go everywhere with him, it's my brother, yeah. No, he doesn't talk at all, I love him but I wouldn't want to go on a road trip with him. And not to give away, but I wouldn't want to choose any other player because I want to have a good relationship with everyone. So, pretty fair," Tsitsipas said.
Congratulations @steftsitsipas on a great tournament - you are a fantastic leader of this sport with a big future ahead. I’m honored to be a colleague. https://t.co/mjYhWnqdKX
"Big challenge with thoughts and different things going through my head"- Stefanos Tsitsipas on the difficulties of playing tennis
Stefanos Tsitsipas also spoke about the challenges that he faces on the court while playing tennis. He highlighted the mental pressure during competition and the challenge of staying calm and composed during matches.
"Big challenge with thoughts and different things going through my head, especially during competition, you know, there is a lot of pressure sometimes but I think that is the most challenging thing about my sport and it can get very difficult at times, mentally but also physcially. So, I feel that would be the most challenging thing I'd have to face almost every single day," Tsitsipas said.
