I played some crazy matches in the last couple of days. It\u2019s crazy that I got four three-setters in a row.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery single match felt like it was never finished and somehow I managed to convert every single time and get the victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more blessed, couldn\u2019t be more happy. It\u2019s been an incredible effort from my side to go out there and do that over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDealt with some pain in the last couple of days, so I had to withstand a lot of different things. Well, the result was obviously the best thing that I would have imagined since the beginning of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tsitsipas, who will take a break next week, looked ahead to the North American hard-court swing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going back home. I will need one or two days off. It\u2019s been a long week,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of crazy matches and I need some recovery and some rest in order to be ready for the American swing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to trying to do the best possible results at the U.S. swing, and in order to do that I\u2019ll need to be fresh and prepared for a long few weeks on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tsitsipas also overcame Alexander Shevchenko, Arthur Rinderknech, Jerome Kym and Ignacio Buse during his run in Gstaad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/canadian-open-withdrawal-list-carlos-alcaraz-emma-raducanu-joined-karolina-muchova\">Canadian Open withdrawal list: 6 stars out as Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu joined by Wimbledon finalist<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefanos Tsitsipas makes significant rankings jump after winning first title in 16 months Ewan West 19 Jul 2026 2:50 PM Stefanos Tsitsipas lifts the Swiss Open trophy in Gstaad Stefanos Tsitsipas is set for a big jump in the ATP Rankings after he ended his title drought by winning the 2026 Swiss Open in Gstaad.
