Tsitsipas Hits Eight-Year Ranking Low After Munich First-Round Loss

He plans to enter lower-tier events to rebuild rhythm before Madrid.

Overview

  • Stefanos Tsitsipas lost in the Munich opener to Fabian Marozsan 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4, completing a two-day match that resumed after a suspension for darkness.
  • The defeat pushes him into the world’s 70s, his lowest ranking in eight years, which raises the chance of facing top seeds in early rounds.
  • He said he will add ATP 250 tournaments and extra events to get more matches and restore confidence.
  • His next stop is the Madrid Masters, with the Geneva Open standing as the lone ATP 250 on the calendar before Roland Garros.
  • He said lingering back pain from 2025 has eased and training is uninterrupted, yet results have been inconsistent, drawing fresh criticism from voices like Boris Becker.
