Tsitsipas has admitted that he may need to play more lower-tier events in order to build up his form and ranking, after suffering another early defeat and falling outside of the world\u2019s top 75.<\/p>\n<p>The Greek has been a shadow of his former self for well over 18 months, struggling to win back-to-back matches.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/stefanos-tsitsipas\">Tsitsipas<\/a> has won just 11 matches and lost eight \u2013 including four of his five most recent matches.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, he fell in the opening round of the Monte-Carlo Masters (to Francisco Cerundolo) and the ATP 250 event in Munich (to Fabian Maroszan).<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 off-season appeared to provide new life within the former world No 3, after revealing that he was no longer suffering the lingering back pain that had disrupted the prior 12 months \u2013 pain which, reportedly, nearly pushed him into retirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not frustrated anymore, because there is no pain to interrupt my training regime day to day,\u201d said Tsitsipas during an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennistv.com\/videos\/4487060\/munich-2026-tsitispas-interview\">interview with Tennis TV.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say that there is something that bothers me right now, so I am actually at a perfect place to build on developing a better game to try and get myself back to where I belong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far nothing has been bothering me, I am on a straight line trying to get things done and maybe get back on some winning streaks I am hoping.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/barcelona-open-carlos-alcaraz-concerning-confession-bigger-campaigns-looming\">Carlos Alcaraz makes \u2018rest\u2019 admission as busy schedule starts to take its toll<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-harsh-verdict-improved-little-adriano-panatta\">Carlos Alcaraz told he has \u2018improved very little\u2019 in harsh verdict from Grand Slam winner<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At his peak, Tsitsipas reached two Grand Slam finals \u2013 at the 2021 French Open and the 2023 Australian Open \u2013 and lifted three Masters 1000 titles, as well as the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals trophy.<\/p>\n<p>However, whilst the lack of pain is a very significant development, the Greek\u2019s latest loss in Munich has further plummeted his ranking to outside of the world\u2019s top 75.<\/p>\n<p>This is his lowest ranking in eight years and means that he is at risk of facing the likes of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the early stages of every tournament they enter.<\/p>\n<p>In order to find a solution, Tsitsipas admits that he may need to play more ATP 250 events, in order to improve his game and ranking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am aware that I might need to play good players in earlier rounds at different tournaments this year,\u201d remarked the Greek.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not an easy thing to get to play them early, but I also accept the challenge and I accept my current position and state, that these kind of things need to happen in order for me to get back to where I belong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I have to play 250\u2019s, if I have to play extra tournaments I will, because matches seem to help me get me back into the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a player that needs matches, I\u2019m a player that needs to play a lot of sets in order to feel my game better and I think this is something that I might need to do in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am expecting to play a lot of tournaments, I want to get a lot of tournaments under my belt, but of course be pretty careful where I choose my tournaments and when I get to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo these type of things are also under my consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tsitsipas is next scheduled to play at the Madrid Masters, which takes place from May 22 \u2013 May 3.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End
