The path of the Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas towards the Australian Open 2023 continues. The talented Hellene seems to be the only real candidate to stop Novak Djokovic and tomorrow the Greek will face the Russian Karen Khachanov in the semifinals.
Stefanos leads 5-0 in the previous round and now there is great optimism about his chances of reaching the final of the tournament. Tsitsipas wants to fight and finally try to reach the first Slam of his career, the tournament that could establish him among the greats of tennis and the ATP circuit.
Stefanos Tsitsipas not only competes for the final victory, but also for the position in the ranking, since if he wins the tournament the Greek would surpass Carlos Alcaraz and become the new number 1 in the world. There is curiosity about his possible performance in the final against the Serbian, especially after the 2021 final at Roland Garros, where Tsitsipas was leading by two sets, but suffered a new comeback from the Serbian champion.
It's not just about performance on the court, because Stefanos has been noticed in the last few hours for a curious request. The tennis player, interviewed on court by Jim Courier, made a curious request: "I like many things about Australia and Margot Robbie is my favorite actress.
I would like to see her here for a few days." A peculiar and rather brusque request, words that intrigued both the public and the insiders. Margot Robbie is one of the most famous actresses in the world, well known in Hollywood.
She is 32 years old and she is older than Stefanos, but the Greek star made this curious proposal / request. Now we will see if she is the actress known for films like The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad or Harley Queen.
Tsitsipas on the Next Gen
World No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas recently discussed the 'Next Gen' of tennis and how he is not afraid of being overshadowed by them. "I passed through this myself. At some point it fades out a little bit 'cause you are an adult.
You are not any more a kid. These guys are still sort of in the transition mode. They're still there," Tsitsipas said. "I had my fair share of that. Now I'm looking forward to kind of move forward from there. There's no other 'gen' after that, it's just adulthood," he added.
"Each and every match that I get to play against them is a new chapter in my book," Stefanos Tsitsipas said. "I kind of forgot that Jiri [Lehecka] today was a next gen player. Never thought about it," he added.
