Tsitsipas feels that he is maturing as a player following his defeat to Djokovic and he explained that he now has the ability to read the game a bit better.
 
“I was still a kid, and now I'm turning more into an adult. My thinking has changed. I've matured. I've been through a lot of things," Tsitsipas said. 
 
"I have grown from the people around me. [I have gained] a lot of experience, a lot of physical improvement, I think. Also the ability to read the game a bit better. Also, for sure, 100 per cent.
 
"[I now have the ability to] be more relaxed on the court. I saw myself in videos two, three years ago, and I've matured a lot in a way that I'm more calm and more observant on the court.”
