Patrick Mouratoglou returns to the forefront of tennis. The well-known coach will sit on the bench of a player again after his experience with Naomi Osaka, which ended a year ago. This time it will be with Stefanos Tsitsipas, who, although he has never been his coach, acted as an advisor in 2023 and has also provided him with coaches from his academy. Therefore, the Greek is starting with a new coach at the US Open.

The Greek, who has definitively closed the chapter with his father as his coach, is looking to regain his best form. A few months ago, he was very close to falling out of the Top 100, being ranked 80th in April. However, he gradually regained sensations and found his tennis again, and today he is the 53rd ranked player in the ATP Rankings.

Stefanos Tsitsipas's best result at the US Open has been two third rounds

Before arriving at the US Open, Tsitsipas participated in the ATP 250 in Winston-Salem with the aim of gaining match practice for the last Grand Slam of the season, although he lost in the second round to Aleksandar Kovacevic. In fact, before making his debut in the American tournament, he reflected critically on his current situation.

“It has been a complicated year. I've achieved some really good victories, as you mentioned. But I have also lost to players that I personally believe I wouldn't have lost to four or five years ago. So yes, it is concerning that there is so much inconsistency in my performance. Because this year I have beaten several top players, but I have also lost to quite a few who are probably outside the top 30 or top 40.”

Thus, he will seek to return to being that player who reached number 3 in the world with such a well-known yet controversial coach. Nonetheless, Stefanos Tsitsipas will aim for a great result in a US Open where his best results have been two third rounds (2020, 2021).
