"It's confusing in a way of how people behave in a gentleman's sport like tennis."

"Really? I was not aware of it. It's good I was not aware of it now that you reminded me."

-- Tsitsipas after beating Daniel Altmaier who knocked Jannik Sinner out of the tournament in the second round in 2023.

"Paula keeps saying all the time, and it annoys me, that she wishes she had my forehand. I tell her I'm sorry, but that's not possible so you have to find ways around it!"

-- Tsitsipas on what he and girlfriend Paula Badosa, who is also into the second round, talk about.

"I was in trouble at points. In the whole match, Jesper and I put on a good show, drop shots, volleys and I think he did it better than me!"
