Last year’s ATP Finals champion Stefanos Tsitsipas has said that the coronavirus pandemic lockdown has given him the chance to learn French.
Tsitsipas spoke to Greek Prime Minister Kiryakos Mitsotakis during a telecoconference chat.
“It’s an opportunity to stay a little longer with my family and do things I didn’t have time to do before. Specifically, right now on a daily basis I am trying to learn a bit of French. It’s something I have always wanted but I did not have time to deal with and it’s an opportunity now”, said Tsitsipas.
Mitsotakis took the opportunity to thank Tsitsipas and other outstanding Greek athletes for their contribution in encouraging people to exercise at home while they are respecting the restrictive measures.
“We have the opportunity to change habits and come out of this trial stronger. People will understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle and might even discover exercise again, even if at home, and even light jogging, things that are allowed under the circumstances. Lockdown restrictions could be lifted in May, as long as there are no further setbacks. There will be an increase in sports activities”, said Mitsotakis.
