NEW YORK : Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas said his recent form was simply"not good enough" as his poor run continued with yet another early exit from Flushing Meadows on Wednesday when Swiss qualifier Dominic Stricker stunned the seventh seed in the U.S. Open second round in a five-set thriller.
He won in Los Cabos earlier this month but his form dipped in the run-up to the U.S. Open, suffering early exits from Toronto and Cincinnati."I consider myself a good player, and I don't want to be a person that can be beaten easily or I'm giving my opponents easy time on the court against me. I try to make it as hard as I can, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I move on with my life.
"By no means I'm supposed to put any blame on any people or any members of my team," he told reporters.
