Stefanos Tsitsipas has never got past the Wimbledon fourth round but the third seed said on Sunday that he comes into the tournament a more confident player on grass.

The world number four has had a strong season with 39 wins on the Tour in 2021 but he lost in the Australian Open semi-finals and the French Open final, where he won the first two sets before Novak Djokovic mounted an epic comeback.The 22-year-old Greek was knocked out in the Wimbledon first round in 2019 when he was the seventh seed.

"Most certainly, I didn't really have Plan B or Plan C. I just kind of had my one way of playing. That was also because of lack of experience, not being on the tour for long enough. "I think I'm a player that can come to the net. I'm confident when it comes to serving and volleying, moving in," added Tsitsipas who did not play in any of the Wimbledon warm-up events this year.
