[Australian Open](https://www.tennis365.com/category/australian-open/) He wasn’t making a lot of unforced errors, he wasn’t giving much. I felt like he was really getting into the rhythm of this fast ball that I was giving him. I was playing some big foreheads and some big shots. I was trying to analyse it a little bit to try and see what’s going on. “I had two games with love on his serve – didn’t convert the first one, he came back, and I didn’t get the other one on my last break point that I had. And the only option was to stay as solid as possible or to just hold my games on my serve.” [It] didn’t to me feel like it was too much defensive. So I picked up in the fifth set. Things went my way.” I hang (sic) in there and just waited for that golden moment to show up. I was stuck somewhere.

Novak Djokovic aside, he is also the only one to have made a grand slam final.

Tsitsipas goes big to beat Sinner and book quarter-finals berth (The Age)

Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Jannik Sinner in a dazzling fourth-round encounter on Rod Laver Arena.

On his first break point while leading 2-1, he was denied by the exceptional reflexes of Tsitsipas at the net. (But) I stayed really calm, just like Mr Rod Laver used to do in his day,” Tsitsipas said. It took the deftest of touches from Sinner, who finally broke with a forehand drop shot, to edge ahead 3-1. It was the chance he needed. The flair of his shot making and his colourful clothing make Tsitsipas an eye-catching player. They absorbed the sizzle on their rivals’ shots and returned them even harder.
