PARIS : World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas will be downing red wine, munching on baguettes and smiling a lot in Paris, hoping this will lead to success at the French Open, he said on Sunday.
Alcaraz, at 20, is four years younger than Tsitsipas, but the Greek said it was the Spaniard's constant smiles and charisma that he found impressive. "I owe a lot to Carlitos, because he's such a breath of fresh air. That contributed to his growth as a tennis player. I kind of admire him for who he is," Tsitsipas said.
