Effort Quote by Stefanos Tsitsipas
“I have nothing against them. I love the fans. But some people don't understand. That's all. They don't understand. They haven't played tennis at a high level to understand how much effort and how difficult it is to do what we are doing. Sometimes we need a short break to do what we have to do.”
