During the press conference, Stefanos Tsitsipas was asked by reporters about the Novak Djokovic vaccine saga to which the Greek star replied that he was there to talk about tennis and not Novak Djokovic. He said, " I won't lie. It has been pretty much on every news outlet the last couple of weeks. It has received a lot of attention. A lot of people are obviously talking about it. That's why I'm here to talk about tennis. Not enough tennis has been talked about in the last couple of weeks, which is a shame."
