Stefanos Tsitsipas, the prominent Greek tennis player, recently engaged his fans with a humorous post. Tsitsipas revealed that an attempted morning meditation session took an unexpected turn when he found himself reliving cringe-worthy incidents from the last two decades.
Tsitsipas, the former world No. 3, is no stranger to using his social media platform to share thought-provoking content. His posts often range from the deeply personal to the philosophical, capturing the essence of his journey in tennis and life.
On Sunday, Tsitsipas tweeted, “I tried meditating this morning, but my brain wouldn’t stop narrating a documentary about all the ways I’ve embarrassed myself since 2004.” This candid admission from the twice Grand Slam finalist resonated with many of his followers.
The 26-year-old’s transparency extends beyond his social media. After a challenging 2024 season and a disappointing start to 2025 with a first-round defeat at the Australian Open to Alex Michelsen, Tsitsipas openly reflected on his performance and mindset.
Post his Australian Open exit, Tsitsipas confessed feeling “hit by karma” for deciding against participating in the doubles event in Melbourne. His decision was driven by a desire to preserve his energy for a more successful singles run.
Tsitsipas also shared a shift in his perspective towards the game, stating, “For sure, I had a fresher mind back then. It seemed like I was hungrier in a completely different way than I am now.” He reflected on the past when his drive to excel in tennis was more pronounced and contrasted it with his current standpoint.
Despite his early defeat in Melbourne, Tsitsipas demonstrated resilience and made it to the quarterfinals in Rotterdam. However, he faced a setback with a first-round loss in Doha.
Looking forward, Tsitsipas is geared up to participate in the Dubai tournament where he is scheduled to face Lorenzo Sonego in the opening round. His fans will undoubtedly be looking forward to his performance, as well as his unique insights on his journey, both on and off the court.
