The Greek, who reached the finals of the French Open in 2021 is looking to win his maiden Grand Slam. He however didn’t had a good start to the season as he bowed out in the group stages in the ATP Cup. He is also returning after an elbow injury and didn’t participate in any of the tournament like the Adelaide International or the Sydney Open. He played the first round directly after recovering from the injury and he looked like he has come back to his groove when he played the first round.
