Tsitsipas Falls in Munich as Ranking Hits Lowest Mark Since 2018

The former No. 3 plans a run of smaller events to rebuild through match rhythm.

Overview

  • Stefanos Tsitsipas lost his Munich opener to Fabian Marozsan 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 after holding a match point late in the second set.
  • The defeat pushes him into the world No. 70s, his lowest position in eight years and outside the top 75.
  • Tsitsipas says the back pain that derailed his 2025 season has cleared, and he plans to add ATP 250 events to get more matches.
  • Geneva is the lone ATP 250 before Roland Garros, which he flagged as a likely stop to rebuild timing and confidence.
  • Boris Becker urged him to change parts of his professional setup, echoing earlier criticism from Goran Ivanisevic, while his next planned stop is the Madrid Open where a low ranking increases the risk of early meetings with top seeds like Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz.
