Stefanos Tsitsipas is going through one of the toughest moments of his career, as he has experienced a plummet in the rankings that has placed him in the top 80. Despite resurging from his ashes at the 2026 Madrid Open, he faced harsh criticism from Jim Courier during his match against Alexander Bublik on Tennis Channel yesterday. "For too long, weaknesses in his game have persisted. His sliced backhand, inadequate. His backhand return, inadequate. His failure on other surfaces to recognize that he should stand farther back to return the second serve and therefore hit more forehands, is a failure. He has not realized that the game is evolving and he needs to keep improving in what, from my point of view, should not be so difficult to enhance."
