Stefanos Tsitsipas has experienced immense joy after winning his first title of the season at the ATP Gstaad by defeating Raphael Collignon in the final. Additionally, the Greek tennis player has revealed that this victory is very important to regain confidence, and he has set the goal of beating at least 3 top 10 players this year to become once again the player who was on the verge of becoming world number 1 and competing for major tournaments.

Indeed, in recent months, Tsitsipas had been a shadow of the player who dazzled the world. His confidence in his backhand was nonexistent, he was barely winning matches, and had dropped beyond the top 80. However, in Gstaad, he has rediscovered his best form to lift a title that will allow him to climb 30 positions in the rankings and realize that his level is still there, to the extent that he has set some quite ambitious goals for himself.

"It's an incredible feeling. Trophies demonstrate the effort you've put in. They are an excellent indicator of whether you are on the right track. You can't lift trophies if you don't win regularly. Having that sign, being able to string victories together, fills me with confidence and a burning desire to win. I want to do more. I want to push my body to the limit. I want to defeat at least three top 10 players this year, and win an ATP 500 tournament. But my first goal would probably be to get back among the top 50. I would like to return to that level," acknowledged the Greek player.

Tsitsipas reveals he will need to rest for a few days after feeling some discomfort

A few weeks ago, Stefanos announced the definitive separation from his father as his coach, as he believed it was the best for both of them, and so far, the outcome has been a success. Furthermore, the Greek tennis player has revealed that he won with certain discomfort, which adds even more value to his achievement. "Today I feel immensely fortunate and happy. It has been an incredible effort on my part, as I've had some pain these last few days, so I've had to endure many things. The result was undoubtedly the best I could have imagined at the beginning of the week," he stated.

Therefore, the 27-year-old Greek player said, "I will need one or two days of rest at home. It's been a long week. There have been many intense matches, and I need to recover and rest to be ready for the American tour. I am very excited to try to achieve the best possible results on the tour in the United States and for that, I need to be fresh and prepared for long weeks on tour."

This result comes just before the North American tour, where Tsitsipas will arrive with high morale to continue his good form and who knows, perhaps cause a stir by reaching the final rounds of major tournaments like the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati and Montreal or the US Open.
