the greek Stefanos Tsitsipasoverwhelmed in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros for the Spanish Carlos Alcarazensured that the number 1 in the world moves “like Speddy Gonzalez“, in reference to the famous cartoon mouse.
The Hellene, who two years ago fell in the final against the Serbian Novak Djokovicrefused to give a favorite for the latter’s semi-final against the Spaniard, but said he was “on the side of youth”.
“One has experience, the other has legs, he moves like Speedy Gonzales. One can get incredible shots, the other has control and the pressure he puts on his rival,” he analyzed.
Tsitsipas blamed his poor performance in the first two sets on taking melatonin to sleep before the match and adjust to the evening schedule.
“I won’t say it again, it doesn’t suit me anymore. I did it because these time changes affect my sleep schedule and for me it’s important to rest to recover,” said the Greek, who qualified that he doesn’t want that “take away merit from Alcaraz”.
