Wanting but unable, that's how the current state of Stefanos Tsitsipas can be summarized. The Greek, who showed signs of improvement at the Mutua Madrid Open, has gone back to his old ways at the ATP Rome 2026 after falling to Tomas Machac in the first round by 6-4, 7-6(4), after one hour and 39 minutes. Additionally, he descends four positions in the ATP ranking to 79th place. Meanwhile, the Czech will face Daniil Medvedev in the second round.
