Stefanos Tsitsipas has started a new chapter as a professional. After a difficult period where he struggled to meet the expectations in most tournaments and experienced mental lows, the Greek player has once again lifted a title to prove that he remains a contender on the circuit. The ATP Dubai marks a turning point in his career, being the first title he has won without his father as his coach following their definitive separation in August 2024. Additionally, he returns to the ATP top 10.

The ATP Dubai was a great opportunity for Stefanos Tsitsipas to prove himself as a tennis player. He succeeded by defeating Lorenzo Sonego, Karen Khachanov, Matteo Berrettini, Tallon Griekspoor, and Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final. Each match presented unique challenges: Sonego's fighting spirit, Karen, Matteo, and Tallon's expertise on these surfaces, and the dynamic play of Auger-Aliassime, who had already claimed two titles in 2025. However, Tsitsipas managed to overcome them all. The Greek player held a press conference to discuss his week in the United Arab Emirates.

- A Welcome Trophy

Stefanos attributed his victory to the immense resilience he displayed during the final: "There was nothing guaranteeing my victory today; it was pure fight. It's a huge relief to hold this trophy. I can now say I did it. I'm proud of how I handled the pressure and performed in those crucial moments."

- Return to the Top 10

On March 3, Tsitsipas will be ranked ninth in the world: "These are the things we strive for as professional tennis players. Owning a place in the top 10 is one of the best feelings you can experience as a player. It's about hard work and sacrifices, but I'm happy to be in a position where I can truly celebrate." He also praised Auger-Aliassime, who entered the tournament in great form with an impressive start to the year: "I had a tough rival today, and I knew it wouldn't be easy."

- A Newly Rediscovered Backhand

Tsitsipas' backhand seems to have regained its form, possibly due to a new racquet or increased confidence. Felix Auger-Aliassime noted, "I've never seen him return with such depth and speed. I have to give him credit." Similarly, the Canadian player expressed disappointment with his own performance: "I thought I would play better than I showed."
