Stefanos Tsitsipas arrived at ATP Washington 2026 with his morale sky-high after winning the Gstaad tournament, but the switch from clay to hard court has brought him a new defeat against Alex de Miñaur, the defending champion, who eliminated him in the opening round with a score of 6-4 3-6 6-3 after two hours of play.

The positive news for Tsitsipas is that he is slowly regaining confidence after a few dark months during which he was a shadow of his former self. Today, the Greek player believes much more in his shots, allowing him to push the ATP ranking number 6 to the limit. However, he fell short once again, so he will have to keep working hard to turn things around as he is currently outside the top 50.

De Miñaur meets the tournament revelation in the round of 16

The match was very close from the first set, where Stefanos was up 4-2 with serve. However, from that moment on, De Miñaur raised his game and managed to win 4 straight games to take the lead in the match. In the second set, Tsitsipas learned the lesson, and a single break was enough to force the match into the deciding set. At that moment, the Australian player lifted his game again, and this time he secured a break at 2-1 to remain solid on his serve and seal his spot in the round of 16.

In the next round, De Miñaur will face his compatriot Cruz Hewitt, who has been the surprise of the tournament after taking advantage of a wildcard in the qualifying rounds and achieving his first ATP-level victory against a top 100 player like Marcos Giron. Obviously, 'Demon' will be the clear favorite, but the son of the legendary Lleyton Hewitt knows that he has nothing to lose and will give his all to take another huge step in his career.
