Stefanos Tsitsipas pain free and ready for Indian Wells
Stefanos Tsitsipas's elbow was so bad last year that he considered walking away from tennis altogether but after successful surgery, he said he is now ready to make a run at Indian Wells. The 23-year-old's doctor was stunned by how quickly he recovered from the operation late last year and the Greek called his semi-final appearance at January's Australian Open one of his greatest accomplishments. "I went through a period where I didn't enjoy playing tennis anymore because the pain was so intense," he told reporters ahead of the start of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
