Another major blow for Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Stefanos Tsitsipas can certainly not be satisfied with the results obtained this season. It’s true that the Greek player won his third title in Monte Carlo during the spring, but he could have expected much more from a guy who can’t make the ultimate quality jump to very high levels.

Not only has the champion’s growth from Athens come to a halt in the last year and a half, but Stefanos seems to have even regressed in certain aspects of his game. Now the opponents know his weaknesses and know how to exploit them, a factor that has helped to remove Tsitsipas from the top positions of the ATP ranking.

On red clay the Greek is still a dangerous player, as shown by the triumph at Monte Carlo and the quarterfinals reached at the French Open. On the other surfaces – instead – Stefanos is far away from the players who currently dominate the ATP tour (like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz).

Even the separation from his father Apostolos seems to have given the right shock ‘Tsitsi’, who will have to work hard in the off-season. 2025 is likely to be a crucial year for his career, also considering the rise of other young talents such as Ben Shelton, Jack Draper, Alex Michelsen and Jakub Mensik.

Streak interrupted

The Greek ace played a good tournament at the Rolex Paris Masters reaching the quarterfinals, but was defeated by Alexander Zverev after a fairly balanced match. Due to this loss, it is already certain that Tsitsipas will close the season out of the Top 10 of the ATP ranking by interrupting a streak that lasted since 2019.

The player from Athens will have to start next season as number 11 or 12 in the world and may have a very complicated draw at the 2025 Australian Open. While his tennis results are not brilliant, Stefanos is very happy in his private life thanks to the love story with his colleague Paula Badosa.
