Stefanos Tsitisipas eyes more than just the world's top 10

Stefanos Tsitisipas eyes more than just the world's top 10

Stefanos Tsitsipas is not content with a place in the world's top 10.

The Greek tennis ace has risen to number seven in the rankings with a superb start to the clay court season and is looking to consolidate his progress at the upcoming French Open.

Speaking to Eurosport about his recent improvement, Tsitsipas said: "I was really committed to just try and get better.

"Now this is a good opportunity and the work continues. I have no desire to stop and to just push further myself. I feel like the comeback has been good.

"I left the top 10 few weeks ago now I'm back and now I really need to push it further because I don't want to be just in the top 10. I want bigger things than that.

"I want to come back in the top three, I would love to see myself there. But I know that it takes dedication to get back into the top three and not just dedication, the right results.

"I hope by Roland Garros, this can take place, but of course, hope is not enough. I have to show the work on the court as well."

Tsitsipas has bounced back from a difficult 2023 with a win at the Monte Carlo Masters but is refusing to get carried away about his recent upturn in results.

He said: "The goal is to keep a positive mindset and to just continue working hard every day.

"I'm not going to think too much of myself cause we're just getting started. We've only played two tournaments so far on clay and I want to do big things here as well, and in Rome. I really hope I can go far in these tournaments.

"Just let's continue building on the mindset and getting step by step to the desired goals and the achievements that I want to pretty much outperform myself in a way."
