Tsitsipas' Munich Switch Backfires as Rankings Slide Continues
The defeat leaves the 27-year-old Greek set to drop into the 70s, his lowest ranking in eight years, after another first-round exit.
- On Wednesday, Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out of the Munich tournament after losing to Fabian Marozsan, a defeat that forces the 27-year-old's ranking into the 70s, his lowest position in eight years.
- Persistent back injuries and inconsistent form have plagued the Greek since last year; former coach Goran Ivanisevic criticized the tennis star after a 2025 Wimbledon exit, stating he had not seen a more "unprepared player."
- Accepting his current state, Tsitsipas said, "I'm aware that I might need to play good players in earlier rounds at different tournaments this year," noting these challenges are necessary to return to his former level.
- To regain rhythm, the 27-year-old considers playing more ATP 250 tournaments, stating he needs to play "a lot of sets" to feel his game better, with The Geneva Open serving as his final opportunity before Roland Garros.
- Before Roland Garros begins on May 24, Tsitsipas faces a critical window; while he reached the French Open finals in 2021 and Australian Open in 2023, he has struggled to deliver a sustained run of form since.
