Inspired Tsitsipas looking to 'refresh, regroup' in Australia

The Greek star made the French Open decider in 2021 and was a losing finalist to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open in 2023 but is yet to take the final step. He is coming off a mediocre 2024 season in which his ranking dropped to its current 11 from a career-high three, managing only one title, a repeat victory at Monte Carlo. But the 26-year-old, who will lead his nation in Perth with a Sunday round-robin tie against Spain, is keen to bury the past and renew the charge to his longtime tennis goal.
