Stefanos Tsitsipas leaves ATP Dubai 2026 without achieving a single victory, losing in the first round in his title defense from last year... and witnessing terrible consequences for his ranking. The Greek player was always trailing behind a very solid Ugo Humbert, who barely gave ground on his serve and thus built a victory defined by break points (he saved both against him and converted two out of three in his favor). The score (6-4, 7-5) leaves no doubt: the Frenchman was far superior, pushing Stefanos out of the top-40. This is his worst ranking in over seven years and ten months: the last time he wasn't among the top 40 in the world was in May 2018. Will he find light at the end of the tunnel soon?
