Undoubtedly, one of the biggest disappointments left by the first round of this Wimbledon 2025 was the surprising defeat of Stefanos Tsitsipas who left London completely broken. The young Greek admitted to being at a loss after trying many things and seeing that his back problem doesn't seem to go away. 

Several days after this event, the Greek player, ranked 26th in the world, analyzed in detail the depth of the current circuit, sharing quite strong reflections regarding the level of the circuit compared to when he first started climbing up the rankings.

About the level of the circuit

"There are more players who can challenge a top 10 player now. There are many more players competing against each other than before. In that sense, it is harder to stay in the top 30. Nowadays, when I play the third or fourth round of a Masters 1000 tournament, the level is not the same as when I started, it's higher now. There are more players in the early rounds than before," revealed Stefanos to Tennis365.

The reasons for this change

"One of the reasons is that I believe tennis has reached a point where physicality has greatly improved, along with access to technology and tools that truly help the game. There are many more good coaches nowadays than before, in my opinion. There are many good tennis organizations. Look at what Italy has done in the last two years. They have gone from being a federation that didn't compete for Grand Slams to having so many players among the top 200 now, in both men's and women's categories."

Comfort on the court

"The court is not a place where you should feel too comfortable against your opponent. When you feel too comfortable, it can backfire. It's clear that when you're on the court, you feel good. I've felt it several times. You feel in a safe space and feel that everything is working. I describe it as a humble feeling because it never lasts long."
