ROGER FEDERER VS STEFANOS TSITSIPAS PREVIEW
Federer had the fortune of a day’s rest before the semi-final while Tsitsipas played for nearly three hours in his loss to Rafael Nadal.
But the young Greek star insists he has plenty of energy left.
He said: “I would say I did leave something in the tank. I didn’t really go full, full. I could have gone even more full than that, but I’m not disappointed by that.
“I wanted to win but probably wasn’t willing to die on the court for that. But despite that, things went well, really well.
“My main focus is doing well in the semifinals more than this match. But again, I wanted to win, so, yeah.”
