Tsitsipas is ranked 79th in the ‘Live ATP Rankings’.

The Greek player, once a Grand Slam finalist and world number three, hasn’t looked himself for quite some time.

Now, tennis legend Jim Courier has weighed in on whether he thinks Tsitsipas can make his way back to the top of the men’s game.

Jim Courier backs Stefanos Tsitsipas to find his way back

On a recent episode of ‘Beyond the Numbers’, Courier gave his thoughts on what’s been going wrong for Tsitsipas lately.

“I want to start with Stefanos Tsitsipas, who got to number three in 2021, has been to major finals, having a little bit of a form dip right now,” he said.

“But personally, I think he’s got everything he needs to get right back into the mix.

“I think he can turn it around, and I hope he does.”

Caroline Garcia also shared her views on where things stand for him.

“Stefanos [Tsitsipas] had some great years in the past, was able to do some very good results against top players and reach finals of Slams,” she said.

“Last year he did a very good tournament in Dubai, kind of surprising everyone because he was in a moment of his career where everyone was doubting him a lot and then he did such a good result.

“But I felt he struggled to confirm this form. In Miami, he had a very tough match against Arthur Fils…

“From what I see most of the time, I would say sometimes for him, the game is getting too fast, especially on his backhand, and I’m not sure how he can get over that.”

What’s next for Stefanos Tsitsipas?

Tsitsipas is in a bit of a spiral at the moment, and it’s hard to see him climbing back into the top 50 any time soon.

Just three years ago, he was one win away from taking the world number one spot after reaching the 2023 Australian Open final against Novak Djokovic.

Now, he sits over 12,000 points behind current world number one Jannik Sinner.

The bigger concern is that his poor form has carried over onto clay, traditionally his strongest surface.

Tsitsipas has won the Monte Carlo Masters three times but lost his first match this year to Francisco Cerundolo. He then fell to Fabian Marozsan in Munich.

He heads next to Spain for the Madrid Open, where he once reached the final. But it would take quite an optimistic fan to expect a similar run this year.

Right now, he’ll just be hoping to break his losing streak and find some momentum before Roland Garros rolls around.

The Madrid Open gets underway on Friday, April 24th.
