Stefanos Tsitsipas has admitted he is “still very angry” with his opening round defeat at Wimbledon ahead of his return to action this week.
The world No. 4 was upset 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 by unseeded American Frances Tiafoe in the first round of The Championships.
It was the 22-year-old’s third opening round loss in his four appearances at the All England Club to date.
Tsitsipas will make his return to competition at the Hamburg Open ATP 500 clay-court tournament – where he is the No. 1 seed – this week.
“I try to get the most out of every game. This match against Tiafoe is complicated. I am still very angry with what happened,” the Greek said in a pre-tournament interview.
“I came to Wimbledon with the idea of wanting to play a good role, to do a very different result from previous years, but it didn’t work.
“If I were someone who felt comfortable in situations like this, I wouldn’t dedicate myself to tennis. I always try to go higher and get the best possible result in every tournament I play.”
Tsitsipas was a runner-up in Hamburg in 2020 – losing to Andrey Rublev.
