Greece's tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas shocked at the press conference that followed his 7-5, 6-2 victory over Alvaro Guillen (No. 731 in the world ranking), in the premiere of the match, for promotion to the A category of the Davis Cup on Saturday.

"I was thinking about the recently tragically fallen fighter pilots during the race. I was emotionally charged", revealed the Greek champion.

He added that the help generously offered by the public was also important.

"The public helped me. In the future, we can fill a stadium with 4 times as many people in an exhibition tournament, having already Grand Slam me and Maria Sakkari. As Federer and Zverev had done in Mexico. I have nothing to prove. I have a dream of winning the gold medal at the Olympic Games in all three categories, winning the four Grand Slams, the Davis Cup and reaching No. 1 in the world ranking."
