Operated on his right elbow last November, Stefanos Tsitsipas returned to the circuit at an impressive speed. Quarter-finalist at the Australian Open when he was still in pain a few days earlier during the ATP Cup, the Greek revealed one of his secrets. Indeed, he used a rope with natural gut instead of synthetic to relieve his elbow. A paying choice as he explained at a press conference in the Netherlands.
“Playing with natural gut helped me a lot and gave me a lot of comfort. My elbow is much better now. I hadn’t really experienced the string differences until now, except for my elbow. It was important to find an alternative solution for my elbow, because I think the ropes are one of the reasons that have caused me pain for the past few years. »
