The Family Connection That Pushed Tsitsipas To Monte-Carlo Glory

Spoiler:

Greek star adds his name to marble roll of honour in Monaco
Stefanos Tsitsipas was born into a family with a great sporting heritage. His grandfather, Sergei Salnikov, was a gold medallist in football at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, but it was another sporting family member who acted as the inspiration for one of his greatest triumphs on the ATP Tour.

This week, Tsitsipas had the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his mother and former tennis professional, Julia Salnikova. It was an opportunity he grabbed with both hands.

Thirty years after Salnikova claimed a junior title at the Monte-Carlo Country Club in 1981, Tsitsipas joined his mother on the Monte-Carlo honour roll with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph against Andrey Rublev on Sunday.

“[To share] this is incredible. [The] first time I walked in that club, the Monte-Carlo Country Cub, with my mom, I think that was when I was six years old. She showed me her name up there. I remember seeing it for the first time. I was stunned. I was like, ‘Wow. That is really cool.’ How cool is that?”

Tsitsipas didn’t give his opportunity to add to his family’s Monte-Carlo success story much thought until it came within touching distance this weekend. From the semi-finals, the Greek dropped just nine games across four sets to charge past Daniel Evans and Rublev and add his name to the Monte-Carlo history books.

“I didn't think about it in the beginning of the tournament, but it came to my mind when I was playing the semi-finals,” said Tsitsipas. “I was thinking that [it] would be really cool to be in this together, like mother like son. That's where the whole purpose came from. I feel like there was an enormous amount of willingness to want to do more in order to be there with my mom.”

“[There are] two people I would like to dedicate this [title to]. My coach back in Greece, who I mentioned [in the trophy ceremony], and also my mom, because she pushed me to aim for that.”


Despite the pressure of family connections and the opportunity to win his maiden ATP Masters 1000 crown, Tsitsipas was able to maintain his focus and become only the third active player to win his first Masters 1000 title without dropping a set (also Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov). The World No. 5 was dominant on serve in the championship match against Rublev, but Tsitsipas highlighted another interesting key to his victory in his post-match press conference.

“Breathing is something I've been working on [in] the past couple of months with my psychologist,” said Tsitsipas. “I find breathing very important, especially when I'm performing or playing. Breathing helps me control myself and have full control of what I'm doing out there.

“It is definitely something that I've been putting a lot of work [into] in the past couple of weeks with him. Actually, this week more than the other weeks, doing it daily after every single match that I played… When you breathe well, I feel like your game is capable of reaching the top.”

Tsitsipas’ final win earned him a 4-3 ATP Head2Head advantage against Rublev in one of the most exciting young rivalries on the ATP Tour. Tsitsipas had lost his previous match against Rublev in last month’s ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament semi-finals in Rotterdam, but his victory in the Principality marked his second consecutive win against the Russian on clay. Tsitsipas also defeated Rublev in straight sets in last year’s Roland Garros quarter-finals.


“The rivalry that I had shared with Andrey is quite significant. We grew up playing together in juniors… We have developed together,” said Tsitsipas. “It's nice that we're able to be in the same environment now on the ATP Tour together after so many years… It's been a long journey to be here, to be able to play against each other in a big final like this. I'm pretty sure we're going to play each other many more times. I tell you it won't be easy. It only gets more difficult and more painful.”

Earlier this month at the Miami Open presented by Itau, Tsitsipas held points for a 6-2, 3-0 lead against eventual champion Hubert Hurkacz. After that encounter, Tsitsipas described how he had missed an opportunity to ‘show something greater’. When he earned another opportunity in the Principality this week, he made sure he took his chance.

“I didn't see [a] reason for me to leave from here without the trophy. I felt like I deserved it,” said Tsitsipas. “I've put so much effort and so much concentration into it. [It is] definitely something that I deserve.

“More opportunities like this [are] going to show up and come up in the future, so I need to be ready to show my consistency.”

Ciekawe, że jeśli dobrze pamiętam, to ATP się pomyliło i pisało o sukcesie matki 30 lat temu.

Przyznam szczerze, że nie czytałem nawet o tym na stonie ATP, a teraz jak scrolluję, to znalazłem dobrą datę w jednym artykule.

Spoiler:

Cykl ATP Tour po dziewięciu latach wraca do Belgradu. Novak Djoković wystąpi w domowym turnieju
W finale turnieju Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters 2021 spotkali się rozstawiony z "czwórką" Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 5) i oznaczony "szóstką" Andriej Rublow (ATP . Było to ich siódme starcie w głównym cyklu i już przed meczem było pewne, że jego zwycięzca obejmie prowadzenie 4-3 w tej rywalizacji. Ponadto 22-letni Grek i 23-letni Rosjanin celowali w premierowe mistrzostwo rangi ATP Masters 1000, zatem stawka dla obu była wysoka.
Tymczasem niedzielny finał nie okazał się wielkim widowiskiem. Tsitsipas od początku grał bardzo uważnie przy własnym serwisie i przez cały mecz nie musiał bronić żadnego break pointa. Cierpliwie wyczekiwał swoich szans i wykorzystał wszystkie okazje na przełamanie. O losach partii otwarcia zdecydował break już w drugim gemie, po którym ateńczyk kontrolował wydarzenia na korcie. Seta zakończył wynikiem 6:3.


W drugiej odsłonie obraz gry nie uległ zmianie. Tsitsipas świetnie returnował i wiedział, kiedy przyspieszyć. W trzecim gemie Rublow prowadził 40-15, ale przegrał cztery kolejne wymiany i stracił podanie. Moskwianin nie był w stanie zagrozić przeciwnikowi. W dziewiątym gemie Grek przepuścił jeszcze jeden atak i wywalczył dwie piłki meczowe. Rosjanin nie bronił się i już przy pierwszej zepsuł bekhend.

Tsitsipas rozegrał bardzo dobre spotkanie. Wygrał 79 proc. piłek przy własnym podaniu, skończył 18 piłek i miał tylko 13 niewymuszonych błędów. Rublow trzykrotnie stracił serwis i nie wypracował żadnego break pointa. Do tego miał zaledwie 10 wygrywających uderzeń i aż 21 pomyłek.

Po 71 minutach Tsitsipas wygrał z Rublowem 6:3, 6:3 i sięgnął po premierowe w karierze trofeum rangi ATP Masters 1000. Jest pierwszym Grekiem, który zdobył takie mistrzostwo. W sumie to jego szósty tytuł w głównym cyklu i zarazem pierwszy w 2021 roku. Za zwycięstwo w Monte Carlo otrzyma czek na 251 tys. euro oraz 1000 punktów do rankingu ATP, co pozwoli mu umocnić się na piątej pozycji. Pokonany Rosjanin wywalczył czek na 150 tys. euro i 600 punktów, ale w poniedziałek znajdzie się na najwyższym w karierze siódmym miejscu, bo wyprzedzi Szwajcara Rogera Federera.


W rozegranym wcześniej finale debla doszło do powtórki z zawodów Miami Open. Rozstawiona z drugim numerem para Nikola Mektić i Mate Pavić znów pokonała brytyjski duet Daniel Evans i Neal Skupski, tym razem 6:3, 4:6, 10-7. Chorwaci wygrali razem już piąty turniej w 2021 roku. Mektić powtórzył w Monte Carlo sukces sprzed dwóch lat, gdy był najlepszy w duecie z innym rodakiem, Franko Skugorem. W niedzielę cieszył się z 13. tytułu w głównym cyklu, a partnerujący mu Pavić z 22.

Tsitsipas Takes Lead Of Razor-Thin Race

Spoiler:

Just 410 points separates Top 4 players
Stefanos Tsitsipas has taken the lead in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin after claiming his first ATP Masters 1000 trophy at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. The 22-year-old strengthened his claim to one of eight spots to the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held at the Pala Alpitour in Turin from 14-21 November 2021.

The first four players — Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev — are separated by only 410 points in the closest Race after three-and-a-half months of a season since 2010.

The Greek star (2,540 points), who clinched the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals crown, leads second-placed Russian Rublev (2,400), the player he beat in Sunday’s final at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, by 140 points. Five-time former season finale champion Djokovic is in third place on 2,230 points, just 100 points ahead of Russia’s Daniil Medvedev (2,130).

“That is great,” said Tsitsipas, when told he leads the 2021 FedEx ATP Race To Turin. “It's just the beginning. We still have plenty of tennis to be played this year. [It’s] great to be in the lead. I'm not trying to think of it too much because [there are] many tournaments ahead of me. I'm going to try to recalibrate, refocus. My body is feeling good, which is a good sign. I'm really pumped to go for some more points in the next couple of weeks.”

Eleven years ago, on 19 April 2010, American Andy Roddick (2,450) held a 220-point advantage over Rafael Nadal (2,230), who had just captured the sixth of his 11 Monte-Carlo crowns, with Roger Federer (2,225) in third position. Djokovic, then aged 22, was in fourth place with 1,580 points in the quest for a 2010 Nitto ATP Finals spot, when the event was played at The O2 in London.


Tsitsipas, who beat Rublev 6-3, 6-3 in the Monte-Carlo final, has risen three spots after capturing his sixth ATP Tour crown and his biggest title since lifting the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals trophy. Rublev, who has won more matches this season (24) than any other player, has jumped above Djokovic into second place after his performance in the Principality, which included a quarter-final victory over Nadal.

Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz (1,440), this month's Miami Open titlist, Russian Aslan Karatsev (1,355), Italian Jannik Sinner (1,040), who won the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals title in Milan, Alexander Zverev of Germany (1025) and Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut (855) remain in spots five to nine, but they will all be keeping track of fast-rising contenders after the second Masters 1000 tournament of the year.

Norway’s Casper Ruud (675) jumped 28 places to 10th place in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin after he reached the Monte-Carlo semi-finals, while Briton Daniel Evans (650), who beat Djokovic en route to the last four, is up 29 places to 11th position.
