“It’s been very difficult. To be back on the podiums and winning tournaments feels amazing,” Tsitsipas said.
“I can’t thank enough my family and friends… for making this possible. The trinity is even more special than the first or second time.
“This is purely unbelievable for me. Capturing that win today was nerve-wracking. I really wanted the trinity, so I got it. I’m extremely happy today.”
