How Was Stefanos Tsitsipas Elite at Tennis Again?

Stefanos Tsitsipas has once again demonstrated why he belongs among tennis’s elite, delivering a commanding performance in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open. The Greek star, who had fallen to a career-low ranking of #43 earlier this season, silenced doubts with a dominant display against Thiago Seyboth Wild.

His return to form underscores a career marked by brilliance: two Grand Slam finals, a 2019 ATP Finals title, and three Monte-Carlo Masters victories. Tsitsipas’ forehand—one of the most formidable weapons in men’s tennis—has long been his calling card, allowing him to dictate rallies with relentless topspin and precision.

Though injuries and confidence struggles had sidelined him in recent months, his recent title win in Gstaad and this week’s victory in Indian Wells signal a resurgence. At his peak, he led Novak Djokovic by two sets in the 2021 French Open final, proving he was just one victory away from becoming world No.

1. Now, with a fresh start, Tsitsipas is proving that his legacy isn’t over.
