Stefanos Tsitsipas immediate reaction after French Open elimination to Carlos Alcaraz 💔 

I think Stef needs a coaching change. There is nothing his dad can add to Stef’s game at this stage of career. An elite coach of the caliber of Cahill or Becker or Lendl might be what he needs.

This interview with Tsitsipas is of the high quality that makes one become a fan of the player immediately. Bravo, Stephanos!

First time I've really listened to Stefanos, and really intelligent, insightful answers. His response that Carlos was just too good, that he had all the answers and shots, was spot on. Hoping he gets his first slam eventually, as he's come so far already.....

Never seen a more honest post match interview.. Fair play to Stefanos

What a proper honest and genuine interview. Fair play tsitsipas 👏

Gracious sir & gracefully spoken sir nicely

Really sorry for Stefanos. Awesome interview, humble, intelligent and honest. Often the impact of this sort of loss and the deep reflection is the making of an even better player. Stay in there Stephanos, many years ahead of you to come.

Sinner and Alcaraz are in a different league than the rest of the tour right now.

This just shows how lonely of a sport tennis is. It’s literally just you out there. Love how honest Tsitsipas is here

I have a lot of respect for Stephanos and love watching him play.

Pretty solid interview

He said it , the kid is just too good.

I’m liking Stef More and More. He’s giving credit where credit is due.

He is very humble and honest

Stef is brutally honest. He played better than last year where he lost many more points. I hope he keeps pushing Carlos. I'm sure he'll figure it out.

I like your honesty Stefanos!!!!

He seemed so demotivated right from the beginning. You could see it in his eyes. He was intimidated, and that attitude is what makes it hard for him. The instant he relaxed, and started to think more just about winning the next point, it became a different match, and then it was all determined by the obvious difference in quality.

Tsitsipas: a) need a coach for mental part; b) needs a coach to enable him to improve certain details and spend more time at the net, and use his forehand more; c) I like how humble and well spoken here he is.

ST was honest and self-aware in this press conference, and he didn't have any self-pity. Just the facts. He was very respectful.

I love Carlos and everyone else left in the draw. But I am so so so sad for Step. I really pray he can win a grand slam. Which reminds me that I'm really gutted he didnt win the 2 slam finals he went to against novak!!!! 2 sets up in one, and the other 2 TIE BREAKS!!!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Great to see Stefanos being so honestly reflective. It’s a sign that he has finally matured.

He looks so defeated 😢 I’ve always cheered against him because of Nadal, Federer & Alcaraz. But he really deserves one after seeing this post-match interview. I can tell he’s grown and matured a lot on the court; he’s able to control his emotions better now. I will be rooting for Tsitsipas in Wimbledon coming up, even if my favorite players are on the court with him. Get some rest for now, you got this! 👏

Stefanos, You really behave like a humble gentlemean

so humble

this reminds me of his interview in AO 2019 after his loss against Rafa he was analysing things just like that

Sometimes I forget he’s 25 years old. Excellent interview.

Hey Stef, the main problem is mental! I don't think Carlos even played an amazing match! You could have beaten him! You need to find a way to perform at the maximum of your abilities in crucial matches instead of letting nerves get the better of you! When he broke you in the 3rd , it was you who lost it rather than he winning it! And all the uncharacteristic errors are also mental . You have improved mentally but there's still a lot of work to be done there! Believe in yourself!!

Honest and well-spoken as always - a credit to the game

Wow, nice to hear such honest, thoughtful answers.

he lost before he stepped on the court unfortunately - he has a mental block against Carlos - really tough match up with a single handed backhand against him

I think he humbled himself here acknowledging Carlitos as the superior player across many facets of game. Still, I’ve been harping for years with Stefanos that he needs to pull a page out of McEnroe’s and Sampras’ playbooks and really force the issue with the serve and volley and net charging in general. He was something like 74% win ratio at the net today which is a huge margin at this level. He’s got the hand skills and can make Carlos extremely uncomfortable when rushed even if he knows it’s coming he’s got to pull off the perfect shot. Any other approach against a 2 handed backhand is doomed…don’t be a Vitus Gerulaitis.

Stefanos is a class act.

Good, insightful answers

Very good interview Stefanos, nothing but honesty

Very positively impressed by his words, excellent summary of the match. Kudos to Tsitsipas.

When Carlos plays his best, he’s top 5 all time. He’s 1 of only 3 guys in the last 3-4 years that has made Novak search for answers…

If you really want a GS you would say, sorry Dad i need another coach!

Very impressive answers. Honest and concise. None of that stock cliches.

Wow....very insightful....very humble...very honest...

Great reflection from Stef.

humble. and we congratulate that

The kick serve return on ad side and Carlos high forehand to his one hander are brutal. Possibly needs to take a page or two out of Roger’s book with attacking early and short chip returns

Brother you are great tenis player but if you want to be on top you need to detache from your father nad find some fresh people , it is more on psychological side that is stopping .Good luck

JOURNALIST: "DID YOU FIND ANY KEYS TO BEAT HIM IN THE FUTURE??" STEFANOS: "NOT REALLY"

He speaks so eloquently and intelligently

Sei anche te un signore!!

Wow He is really humble here. I think he is a bit too down on himself. He needs to reset and I hope he plays his own flair of tennis next time against Carlos.

Do not be disappointed Stefanos, always keep going and we all love your onehanded backhand and your play. Your time will come.

If it took 15 years for Roger to figure out Nadal, Stephanos should not lose hope.

I don't think I've ever heard an athlete give such an honest and vulnerable response that his first answer to the question asked. Pretty impressive to my mind.

He is good has wonderful backhand WISH HIM GOOD LUCK IN FUTURE. SO HUMBLE TO ACCEPT

Great interview. Very classy of Stefanos.

Super honest! Love it!

Well said Sef , no any excuses like we here every time top 10 pleyers loosing 😊 honest and straight to the point, keep going!!

THE VOODO EXITS JUST IN YOUR MIND

Great press conference. Stefanos was honest, fair, thoughtful, and humble.

Love this guy, he's still my winner

You’re growing as a player, this is still a great year with more wins to come. You just have to believe you deserve it!

He is an emotional guy and have been a big fan! Very candid interview. He does need a new coach prob

Stefanos gave his all.🤷🏻‍♂️🎾

Stefanos will adapt and improve his game.

Honest account by stef. I think he can beat carlos. Its just a mental block some players have against other players theyve never beaten.

Very humble and respectful insight from Tsitsipas, he won my respect again. Seems he has matured over the last few months.

A great player to watch he will win a major soon

He is very introspective. But it's okay. He needs to continue to work on his game and plan a strategy.

Classy guy

Great game by both players.

Its in the mind, bro. We all know that. It also takes strength and honesty to say the better of your opponent. Hope he wins a GS in the future.

Somehow he has to stop his backhand being so attackable by Alcaraz/Sinner/Djokovic/Fritz etc. His b/h slice isn't really a world class shot which is a shame.

Stefanos is so gorgeous 😍

bravo Stepanos!!!

He is the real hero

Wow. That first answer is one of the most fascinating I've ever heard.

Stefa will win a GS for sure. Great tennis, amazing personality. Maybe it’s time to add an extra expert eye to his team, that’s all.

Surprisingly tsitsipas is very good against Sinner. But always struggle against Alcaraz.

Fair enough !

"The kid is just too good" is a very funny and amazing thing to say

💔💔💔💔💔

I feel bad for Tsitsipas, he‘s way overdue for a grandslam. I am really rooting for him for a grandslam this year

I have to say, I love the interview with this guy.

You are is the Best...

You are a real gentleman Stefanos. I applaud you for that. You did great job to night but Carlos was the better player. Wish you good luck to all the other tournaments that are coming up.🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪

"the kid is just too good" haha

Love ya Stefanos.

HE USED TO BE MY CHILDHOOD NEIGHBOR.HE WAS RAISED A BRAT.HE SWEARS AT HIS MOM AND DAD A LOT WHEN HE DOESNT GET HIS WAY OF THINGS.

Although sometimes labeled as someone who has made mistakes, I always knew he was a smart person. I wish he could have been more active in the match, I support Tsitsi. Χαιρετισμούς στον αθλητή της γειτονικής μας χώρας από την Τουρκία, γεια σου γείτονα.

Stef's press this time is better than his match... It's great to hear him reflect openly in things

Great interview, honest and raw and gave great props to his opponent I feel like he was also annoyed at the Djokovic question. Like it's an interview about him and his match and they're asking him about a player that wasnt even involved

This must be the first time I actually liked one of his interviews. Sounds like he got humbled real good.

Great players always have plans b, c and even d and have the foresight to reinvent. Tsitsipas doesn't (except for a toilet break) and it will get worse as other players catch-up with his monotone. Unless he realises he has to diversify and get himself a proper technical director to sort out his baggage and his tools, we will always hear him at his interviews repeating that he believes he is a great player, who loses and doesn't know why he gets beaten :-I He's either unwilling to go back to the drawing board or doesn't have anyone around him telling him what a drawing board is :-I

man, I don't like you as a player Stefanos, but I believe that as much as your father helped your career land where it is today, which is very impressive, it is time for you to change things. Again, not a big fan of yours, but I still wish you my best

Tsisipas has shown more maturity lately but deep inside I think he does not recognize the greatness of his rivals. In 3:37 his subconscious betrayed him and referred to Carlos as "the kid".

I think there are more than one or two players who can overwhelm him!

Very nice analyses by him! He practically said he had no chance. A is bad match up for him too 7-0 now

Head up champ

Good honest reply from Steph. Sad for him that Alcaraz and Sinner didn't wait a few years to come along. And Steph needs to grow up and get a real coach, sorry dad but you can't take Steph any further. This has been obvious for the last few years.

In other words, Carlos is a destroyer

i like him. although big fan of Sinner and Alcaraz. Tsitsipas is so honest and calm, wish him the best!

Good luck Stef! You really have a couple of FO titles in you... you can do it!

I believe you just need to believe yourself and mentally stay strong.. your first grand slam trophy is just a step away
