5 Stefanos Tsitsipas says he regrets taking sleeping pills after complaining about feeling sluggish in his French Open quarterfinal defeat against Carlos Alcaraz on Tuesday.
While praising Alcaraz for his “great” performance, Tsitsipas says he was hampered by his own preparation and disrupted sleep cycle.
“One thing that I’m going to try to avoid in the future is to have melatonin pills [sleeping pills] and naps before matches because it clearly doesn’t seem to be working,” Tsitsipas told reporters.
Like the US Open and Australian Open, Roland-Garros has regularly featured night sessions which, despite generating a great atmosphere under the lights, means matches can finish past midnight.
So it’s gonna be a great match for me.”
