Since I&#x27;ve been young I try to get the ball in and run. Three hours, you see, it&#x27;s normal for me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Tsitsipas raised concerns about a lingering injury, a concern so close to the Australian Open.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#x27;m in a little bit of pain. That&#x27;s normal. I served more serves than I have ever served in the last month,&quot; Tsitsipas said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I have been practising, trying to get 50, 60 serves in, and today I really went far. I was fatiguing in the end. I tried to avoid the pain but I got to finish the match somehow.<\/p>\n<p><img data-id=\"514d6b64-8925-45f9-aed3-a2098f408b0e\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.static9.net.au\/fs\/514d6b64-8925-45f9-aed3-a2098f408b0e\" alt=\"\" data-width=\"4267\" data-height=\"2845\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#x27;d love to play [my next ATP Cup match], but I really don&#x27;t know how I&#x27;m going to feel tomorrow. That was one of the biggest concerns if I&#x27;m going to play this match today, how is the recovery going to be tomorrow, which was the issue with the doubles. I finished the doubles but the next day I couldn&#x27;t serve. I was unable. I was in a lot of pain.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;So I&#x27;m really hoping to be able to walk on court tomorrow and practise some serves without pain. That&#x27;s my biggest goal right now, to have 100 per cent recovery on my elbow.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/login.nine.com.au\/login?client_id=wwos&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwwos.nine.com.au&amp;newsletter=true\" title=\"clicking here!\"><strong><em>clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Argentine ace Diego Schwartzman has upset world No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas to claim the tie against Greece and keep his nation top of Group D in <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=181596\" title=\"Argentine ace&#039;s cheeky Coke sledge for Courier\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181596"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=181596"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":181598,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181596\/revisions\/181598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=181596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=181596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=181596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
