Former champion Boris Becker had slated the younger generation's inability to challenge the 'Big Three' of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic -- who have won every major over the last 2-1/2 years -- and Tsitsipas hoped to be the one to accomplish the feat at Wimbledon.
"I would love to see something different this year. Hopefully it will be me," Tsitsipas, 20, told reporters. "It would give it a little bit of variety, something different to these guys.
"We are responsible as the new generation to work hard to come up with something new and our best games to beat them. Some don't want to take the responsibility of going out and overcoming all those difficulties and beat those guys."
Tsitsipas has already beaten Federer and Nadal at the Australian Open and Madrid Open respectively this year but he said it was not up to just him or 22-year-old world number five Alexander Zverev to carry the torch for the younger players.

"There are others," Tsitsipas added. "Felix (Auger-Aliassime), Denis (Shapovalov), Taylor (Fritz), Alex (de Minaur), Frances (Tiafoe)... We want a big, big rivalry in the future."
Tsitsipas is the top seed at the Queen's Club Championships, a traditional warm-up grasscourt tournament before Wimbledon, and plays Briton Kyle Edmund in the first round on Tuesday.
Wimbledon begins on July 1.
