Three of us in the media got a chance to speak with former world No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas on Day 1 of the Winston Salem Open.  The questions are as follows:  Do you feel like you're looking towards world No. 3?  What do you hope to get out of the Winston Salem Open?  You're going into your tenth US Open, can you give some thoughts to how that tournament has gone for you?  If you were a coach, how would you approach working with a younger player?  What changes have you made to hopefully turn the year around?  Did those changes come internally?  Do you have any thoughts about the city of Winston Salem?    Tsitsipas continued on to lose to Aleks Kovacevic before making a run to the fourth round at the US Open, losing to Ben Shelton.
