Stefanos Tsitsipas wins Gstaad title amid career resurgence

Tennis professional Stefanos Tsitsipas is attempting a career resurgence following a significant decline in his ATP ranking. After reaching a career-high of world No. 3 in 2021 and appearing in two Grand Slam finals, Tsitsipas saw his ranking drop outside the top 75 by May 2026 due to chronic back pain and personal challenges.

His professional journey has been marked by frequent coaching changes and a complicated relationship with his father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, who served as his coach. Following a definitive split from his father in June 2026, Tsitsipas hired Thomas Perrin from the Patrick Mouratoglou academy. This change coincided with a victory in Gstaad in July 2026, marking his first title in 16 months and signaling a potential return to form.
