Happy with my consistency this year: Tsitsipas

PARIS: Stefanos Tsitsipas, who is looking to become youngest Grand Slam singles champion in over 11 years, has said he is satisfied with consistency in his game this year. The Greek player, who is seeded fifth at Roland Garros this time, is just 22. He will become youngest Grand Slam winner since Juan Martin del Potro won 2009 US Open at 20, should he lift the trophy on June 13.

Tsitsipas has been impressive on clay this season, winning Monte Carlo Masters as well as the Lyon ATP event. He also reached Barcelona Open final, where he lost to Rafael Nadal in a close match.

"I have had good weeks this year. I have had some good results but I feel like there is always more," he told media after beating John Isner 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(3), 6-1 to enter fourth round of French Open.

"I do not see my performances as extra outstanding, but I have been consistent. We are here at a Grand Slam and it is a big opportunity. But of course it is going to be a challenge," added Tsitsipas.

The Greek player said matches like the one against Isner provide lessons. IANS
