Tsitsipas confirmed on social media that his surgery was successful and projected a positive outlook on his future.
The Greek also took to Twitter to share some inspirational quotes from Matt Haig’s The Comfort Book. Tsitsipas said he was enjoying listening to “quiet patches”, which he compared to the “earth’s heartbeat.”
The World No. 4 has always enjoyed sharing thought-provoking and philosophical messages with his fans, and that’s continued during his time away from the court.
Weeks leading up to Stefanos Tsitsipas’ surgery and his future plans
Stefanos Tsitsipas was forced to withdraw midway through his last two tournaments because of elbow problems. The Greek first pulled out of his opening match at the the 2021 Paris Masters. Tsitsipas did not provide too many details about his injury at the time, but mentioned that he was prioritizing the ATP Finals.
Unfortunately for Tsitsipas, the situation did not improve in Turin, where he suffered a straight-sets defeat at the hands of Andrey Rublev in his first round-robin match. The Greek later withdrew from the tournament, saying the pain had become too much to deal with.
A few days later, the Greek went under the knife. Tsitsipas is expected to begin his preparations for the 2022 season in Dubai next month before shifting his focus to the Australian Open in Melbourne.
