Stefanos Tsitsipas faced a tough 2024 season, sharing his struggles openly. He was once a consistent force on the ATP Tour, always finishing in the top six from 2019 and collecting nine trophies over five years. However, this year proved challenging for him.
The trouble began with an early exit at the Australian Open’s fourth round, hinting at a difficult road ahead. Things didn’t improve during the Sunshine Doubles in Indian Wells and Miami, where he only managed two wins. By the time clay season started, his record was 11-6 with no titles to show for it.
Despite these setbacks, Tsitsipas surprised everyone by winning the Monte-Carlo Masters. He defeated strong opponents like Alexander Zverev, Casper Ruud, and Jannik Sinner to claim victory. Reflecting on Instagram via Tennis365, he admitted uncertainty about winning again due to ongoing challenges.

Unexpected Triumphs and Struggles:
“The most surprising thing was going to Monte Carlo and winning the title there again because, inside, I wasn’t 100% sure if I could do it because of everything that was happening.” Yet after this triumph, he couldn’t maintain momentum throughout the rest of the year. His final tally stood at 45 wins against 22 losses; ranking slipped to 11th globally.
Missing out on ATP Finals for first time since debut win in 2019 humbled him deeply—a sentiment he shared candidly with fans. Some fans might think it’s hard seeing their favorite player struggle like this.
Tsitsipas revealed more about his internal battles during conversations with supporters: moments arose when continuing tennis seemed uncertain for him personally—”If I have to say something about this year,” he confessed proudly amidst difficulties faced mentally along way forward—“I’m very proud of what I’m doing now.”
He opened up further: “Tennis wasn’t important anymore…going tournaments didn’t matter,” admitting how unexpected reaching such point felt initially but ultimately proud handling situations despite complications endured therein.
Looking ahead towards next chapter beginning anew come start fresh calendar cycle next January onward—the Australian Open awaits where past finalist status beckons another chance showcase true potential once more!
What do you think? Will Tsitsipas bounce back stronger than ever?
