Xinhua News Agency, Melbourne, January 22 (reporter Hao Yalin Yue Dongxing) if his brilliant record in this Australian Open is not considered, sisepas is no different from ordinary 20-year-old boys-Social media plays very well and likes to make videos of their experiences and share them with fans and netizens.
On the 22nd, after breaking into the top four men’s singles in 2019, sisippas put an “advertisement” on his social media account in a live interview. In the next few hours, the subscription volume of his “tubing” account has doubled directly and is still rising.
“Really? I didn’t expect to have such influence either. I have to think about it when I put the video up next time.” At the post-match press conference, sisippas, who learned the news from the reporter, was also surprised.
With a height of 1.93 meters, a long golden brown hair and a well-defined face, sisippas has an idol shape. After winning the competition, he would throw his hair band and wristband to the fans in the stands, raise his hands to greet the audience, and also talk in the interview, it was a joke to resolve the reporter’s “nonsense” question.
And his performance on the court has the potential of a new generation of tennis idol.
The growth of Greeks in recent years can be described as rapid. In 2016, his ATP ranking was still 200, and it jumped to 15th last year. In 2017, he just started to have his own Grand Slam performance, and this year he has achieved the annual goal of “entering the Grand Slam semi-finals” ahead of schedule.
After the Swiss king Federer was picked and dropped in the fourth round of singles, sisippas defeated the No. 22 seed agutt with 3:1 and successfully joined the top four men’s singles. Two consecutive victories made him more confident and firm.
“I understand recently that your opponent feels the same as you. The game is fair. The difference is who can exert more pressure on the other side and who is more active.” He said. “I know it’s important to beat Federer and let everyone know who I am, but today’s game is a bigger challenge and let me prove myself again.”
In the next semi-final, neither the Spanish king Nadal nor the American rookie tiafu was an easy opponent, but this did not affect sippas’s expectation for himself.
“I am glad that I have achieved the annual goal ahead of time, but that is like the starting point for moving forward.” Sisippas said. “What I have to do is to stay focused and look forward to more.”
