Denis Shapovalov, Lorenzo Sonego, and Corentin Moutet are not the only players on tour with musical aspirations. Stefanos Tsitsipas has released his first album, Only Yesterday.

Only Yesterday is a ten-song album that is lofi hip hop featuring immersive mellow beats. You can find the album on SoundCloud.

During an interview during the French Open, Tsitsipas expressed his love for music.

I enjoy music. I feel like every person has his own identity and every person has his own taste in music. I got influenced a lot by other tracks and other albums I’ve been listening to so I decided to make my own song, based on certain parts of my life recently.

There’s a lot of nostalgia, a lot of emotions and a story to be told through a song and I managed to pull it off, it turned out to be pretty good. I’m happy with it.

-Stefanos Tsitsipas

Several tennis players have tried their hand at music – the Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike Bryan had a band and released an album, Autograph in which Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic sang.

No medal for Novak Djokovic

The biggest tennis news from the 2020 Olympics was that Novak Djokovic left Tokyo without a medal. The dreams of a golden grand slam were gone.

He lost his singles semifinals match to Alex Zverev. He also lost the bronze medal match against Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta. Djokovic pulled out of the bronze medal mixed doubles match giving Ashleigh Barty and John Peers the bronze medal.

Needless to say, it was a great week for Alexander Zverev. He played great all week. The three-set format helped him close out matches quickly and didn’t give players like Djokovic to come from behind and win in 5 sets.

Great Olympics for Switzerland and Russia

Belinda Bencic won the gold medal in singles and silver medal in doubles, making this an Olympics to remember for Switzerland even though Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka didn’t play.

It was also a great tournament for the Russians, who were competing under the name, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). Karen Khachanov won the silver medal in singles. ROC won the mixed doubles gold and silver medals. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Andrey Rublev were gold medal winners.
