Nor these are easy times for Stefanos Tsitsipas. During this season, the Greek He is no longer a regular in the top 10 of the ATP ranking, to also be in the news for his personal life more than for the tennis displayed on the court. His land tour, in which he is a specialist, was just a mirage that has collided with reality as soon as the grass has entered the scene.
Removing the final in the Conde de God�, and the title won at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000the Greek’s best result this season is some quarterfinals in specific tournaments, with some numbers well below what you are used to doing. However, statistics do not lie, and what is truly surprising about Stefanos is not his current results, but those of the first half of the year.
Throughout his career, the Greek He has reached the final at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros, but their records after finishing the clay season have never been good. On Thursday he was eliminated from Wimbledon in the individual draw, being removed in the second round against Ruusuvuori, while yesterday he lost in the doubles with his brother Petros.
The round of 16, their limit at Wimbledon
In fact, at Wimbledon his best participation has been the round of 16, how far it went last year and in 2018. In 2023 it was the American Eubanks who defeated him in 5 sets in this round, while in 2018 it was the Isner bomber.
In both cases, two servers, something typical if we talk about grass. In 2019 and 2021 he lost in the first, and this year in second. The reality is that the green carpet does not suit the former world number 3.
The US Open, even worse
In the case of the last ‘major’ being played in New York, its statistics are even worse. The Greek has the third round as his limit, which he reached in 2020 and 2021. Coric and Alcaraz were his executioners in their respective defeats. In his other four participations, Tsitsipas has not gone beyond first class on two occasionswhich shows that the end of the season is a ball.
The reality is that right now The media talks more about his relationship with Paula Badosa than anything else, and seems to have given up when it comes to big goals. His rivalry with Alcaraz, whom he has never beaten, along with the fact that having wasted up to two Grand Slam finalsseem to have been a moral blow for a Stefanos who cannot stand his head.
