STEFANOS Tsitsipas believes he'll need to have the mental and physical strength of an elite, battle-hardened special forces commando to break through to a maiden Grand Slam title.
'Strength of Navy SEAL' needed to win French Open: Tsitsipasa

The Greek World No. 5 came agonisingly close to winning the French Open in 2021 when he surrendered a two-sets lead to lose in five to Novak Djokovic.

It's a memory which still haunts him, especially after losing to the Serbian superstar again in January in the final of the Australian Open.

"There are a few guys that can play good under pressure, especially in big, tight moments, and you have to have the mental strength of a Navy SEAL to pull it through," said Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas made the French Open last 32 for the fourth year in succession on Wednesday with a 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory over Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena.
