Tsitsipas Falls Short at Wimbledon, Raises Questions About His Priorities
Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas once aspired to win Grand Slam titles, but his recent performance suggests those ambitions may be fading. Accusations from his former physical trainer claimed the 23-year-old was prioritizing other aspects of his life, and his recent results are doing little to dispel those theories.
Disappointing Second-Round Exit at Wimbledon
Tsitsipas’s season seemed to be on an upward trajectory after reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open and quarterfinals of Roland Garros. However, his performance at the recent Wimbledon tournament has been nothing short of disappointing. On Thursday, the Greek player was defeated in the second round by Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori in four sets, 7-6(6), 7-6(10), 3-6, and 6-3.
Setback Hinders Progress towards Top 10
As a result of his early exit from the tournament, Tsitsipas will be unable to defend his fourth-round finish from the previous edition. This setback also raises questions about his ability to return to the top 10, a goal he had set for himself.
Tsitsipas Shifts Focus to Doubles Match
Despite his singles disappointment, Tsitsipas still has hopes of success in the doubles competition. Partnering with his brother Petros, they were set to face Argentine pair González and Molteni yesterday, but the match was suspended due to rain.
