MELBOURNE, Jan 22 ― Greek third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas described the Australian Open as his “home slam”, saying the conditions in Melbourne remind him of the Attic Peninsula.
The 24-year-old was cheered on by his compatriots in the crowd, who showed their support by waving Greece’s flag and chanting about their tennis idol. “The conditions are similar. It’s not very humid, it’s not very tropical. I can say it’s similar to the Athenian Riviera.” “Another reason, another plus is wherever I look I see Greek faces, I see Greek people speaking Greek. Of course, it’s very important when you’re far away from home to have that sort of feeling, to connect even more with the culture that you’re at,” he said.
