MELBOURNE, Jan 23 — It’s about 15,000 kilometres from Melbourne to Greece, but home comforts are fuelling Stefanos Tsitsipas’s charge towards a maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.
Tsitsipas eventually prevailed over five sets at Rod Laver Arena to set up a quarter-final against unseeded 21-year-old Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic tomorrow. “It always reminds me of home a little bit when I’m here—the conditions are similar, it’s not very humid, it’s not very tropical. I can say it’s similar to the Athenian Riviera.
It has left him as the highest remaining seed and one of the favourites, although nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic will have something to say about that.Tsitsipas’s best performance at a major was losing the 2021 French Open final to Djokovic over five sets, having won the opening two sets.
