Stefanos Tsitsipas said he is relishing a return to the European claycourt season as the Greek world number three targets a third consecutive Monte Carlo Masters title in the build-up to the French Open starting next month.
The 2021 Roland Garros runner-up returns to clay hoping to claim his first trophy of the year at Monte Carlo, having beaten Andrey Rublev and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the previous two finals of the prestigious tournament. "I'm looking to make it three titles. But I won't take too much time thinking of it. I'm feeling refreshed that we're able to start playing on clay again.
Tsitsipas said he enjoyed tactical battles on clay, a surface on which he has won four of his nine titles.
