Stefanos Tsitsipas believes that he shares an unbelievable chemistry with his brother and father.
Tsitsipas is currently in Manila for his national team Greece’s Davis Cup tie against the Philippines which will kick off from Friday.
The ‘Next Gen’ star was talking to the media ahead of his team’s matches when a journalist asked him about the chemistry he shared with his brother and father:
“The chemistry is unbelievable. We are actually improving more and more when we play with each other together. Also, really happy to have my brother in my team, like it makes it kind of like a closer bond, not just my brother but also my father – three Tsitsipas in one team,” Tsitsipas replied.
“Well, we sort of like share a legacy, all of us and with all the boys – Michail, Mark, we’re really close to one another and we’re acting as you know a union, a team and our relationship has been great so far.
“We know each other like forever and that helps for sure with our chemistry and with the way we interact. It’s a family affair.”
Stefanos will be accompanied by younger brother Petros Tsitsipas, Michail Pervolarakis and Markos Kalovelonis while Dimitris Chatzinikolaou has been made the team captain.
Meanwhile, Tsitsipas also had a message to share with tennis fans in the Philippines, ahead of the Davis Cup rubber. Tsitsipas claimed that he wanted to bring people closer by offering good quality tennis.
“Well I’m excited to offer a good quality of tennis here in the country and to bring people closer and also bring happiness not just to myself but also the people that are going to come and watch tennis this week,” he said.
Tsitsipas made his Davis Cup debut last year steering Greece from Group III to Group II under the old format in the Europe Zone.
