After what were Alexander Zverev’s statements about the protected ranking, Stefanos Tsitsipas referred to this issue in response to ESPN Tennis, at the press conference prior to the start of the ATP 500 in Acapulco.
The Greek spoke about the sayings of the German, and at the same time said that he prefers to abstain from the subject: “I do not like to pay too much attention to these subjects. There are things that are not as fair as others, but the system is what it is. We, as players, do not think we have a major impact on what can change. I’m not involved in the Players Council or anything like that. To be honest, I don’t want to get involved in an ATP Council. I think that is the job of the ATP, to continue building everything for the players. Obviously there are players who look out for their interest and really for mine, and everyone else’s. so I leave these types of issues to them, “he said in the first place.
But then Tsitsipas added: “At the same time, I know that we have been struggling a lot in recent months to move up the rankings. I understand Zverev’s stance and I understand what he means, but at the same time there is also something fair about him. system, which has also been able to benefit gamers in recent months. It’s really up to us to improve in the rankings and we’ve had all kinds of opportunities to do that in the last two months that Federer hasn’t been playing. I’m finally relieved that I was finally able to get through it after so much time playing, it was freaking me out. ” he indicated between laughs. “
Finally, Stefanos finished: “I am sure it will not last long, it is not so important to look at these things, but to pay more attention to how you progress by yourself instead of having to wait for someone to fall or crash themselves”, he concluded .
