Following his ATP 250 title in Gstaad in July 2026, Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his resurgence during the North American hard-court swing. After qualifying for the National Bank Open in Montreal by defeating Keegan Rice, he advanced to the round of 32 by beating Martin Damm Jr. 6-4, 6-4. Tsitsipas maintained this momentum at the Cincinnati Masters, where he secured a second-round appearance after defeating Valentin Royer 7-6, 7-5. Despite facing match points and noting some “inconsistency in his serve,” Tsitsipas utilized an aggressive strategy of moving toward the net to build confidence. However, his run in Cincinnati ended in the second round when World No. 4 Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated him 6-3, 7-5. Tsitsipas subsequently addressed performance fluctuations and self-doubt, revealing he had spent months experimenting with different racquet frames. He stated he intended to cease further equipment changes to focus on “mental peace and game development.” Competing via a wild card in Winston-Salem, Tsitsipas was seeded seventh and received a first-round bye. However, his campaign ended in the round of 16, where he was eliminated by American Alexander Kovacevic 6-3, 7-6(1). Tsitsipas then transitioned to the US Open, where he achieved a career milestone by reaching the fourth round for the first time. He secured his place in the second week by defeating Jiri Lehecka 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(3), 6-1. Tsitsipas attributed his improved performance to a recent coaching change ~~with~~ involving Patrick Mouratoglou and Thomas Perrin, and a reduction in physical pain. He also noted a shift in mental approach, including preparing for “worst-case scenarios.” As the last remaining player in the draw with a one-handed backhand, he is scheduled to face either Ben Shelton or Denis Shapovalov in the round of 16.
