StefanosTsitsipas
Tsitsipas relies on a one-handed backhand and baseline aggression. Currently ranked No. 53, far from his career-high No. 3.
Overview
Stefanos Tsitsipas builds his game around a one-handed backhand, using it to create angles from the baseline rather than simply rally. Standing at the back of the court, he looks to dictate with heavy topspin and step inside when a shorter ball arrives. At his best he serves well enough to keep points short, though the return is where his opponents often find opportunities to attack.
Right now he sits at No. 53, well below the No. 3 he once reached. The gap between those positions tells the story of a player working to regain the level that brought 13 tour-level titles. That ranking is a snapshot from late August, and it shapes how he enters upcoming events.
