Surely more than one is still wondering what is happening to Stefanos Tsitsipas, trying to find the answer to why the Greek has experienced such a big downturn in just two to three years. He is a shadow of his former self, and today against Novak Djokovic, he was a shadow of who he was just three years ago, considering that the Hellenic player was competing in Grand Slam finals in 2023.

To try to find answers as to why Tsitsipas is now closer to dropping out of the Top 100 than returning to the Top 10 and challenging for major titles, one must delve into Stefanos' life over the past two years, a career marked by constant conflict with his father, instability in his love life, and a substantial decline in his physical condition.

Tsitsipas' Tennis: A Mirage of What Once Was

Between 2022 and the beginning of 2023, the backhand and return of Stefanos were already raising alarms that urgent improvements were needed. Yet, two or three years later, these shots have not only failed to improve but have regressed significantly. In today's tennis, having two major weaknesses is a handicap too great for the Greek to compete on equal terms with the top players.

His forehand, once his best weapon, has stagnated due to a lack of confidence. It is as if Tsitsipas' entire game has crumbled, affecting even his drive. When we add physical issues, with his back and arm affected, we see a player who seems far from what he was on the circuit a couple of seasons ago.

It is concerning that he is not even 28 yet, as Stefanos' downward curve resembles more that of a player crossing the threshold of 34-35 years, rather than someone entering their peak years of tennis and physical maturity. 

Surely more than one is still wondering:

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO TSITSIPAS?

To understand how it is possible that in just two to three years he has experienced such a significant decline and is very close to leaving the Top 100, one must delve deep into the matter.

Will Tsitsipas Resemble His Former Self Again?

That is another question on many people's minds. In today's tennis, where almost all players are true athletes, dropping a couple of levels physically and having two major flaws in your game is nearly a death sentence.

Opponents know perfectly well Stefanos' weaknesses, and his backhand suffers the consequences of the opponents' shots repeatedly. Today, Tsitsipas was a mere toy in the hands of Djokovic, who had one of the easiest matches in a Slam in a long time.

It is sad to think that not long ago, the Nole-Stefanos matchups were Masters 1000 and Grand Slam finals, to see what we saw today at Wimbledon. In a way, one can only feel nostalgic when remembering Tsitsipas defeating Federer or Nadal at a Grand Slam, in that era where everyone believed he would win several majors. How far removed everything seems now.
