The Greek, who has once again opted for the Middle East for this month of February, admits that if he has never competed in South American tournaments, it is because of money.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Stefanos Tsitsipas leaves ATP Dubai 2026 without achieving a single victory, losing in the first round in his title defense from last year... and witnessing terrible consequences for his ranking. The Greek player was always trailing behind a very solid Ugo Humbert, who barely gave ground on his serve and thus built a victory defined by break points (he saved both against him and converted two out of three in his favor). The score (6-4, 7-5) leaves no doubt: the Frenchman was far superior, pushing Stefanos out of the top-40. This is his worst ranking in over seven years and ten months: the last time he wasn't among the top 40 in the world was in May 2018. Will he find light at the end of the tunnel soon?

Stefanos Tsitsipas needs to rediscover his best form next week at ATP 500 Dubai 2026 if he wants to avoid a potential drop from the top-50 in the ATP ranking. Currently, the Greek is ranked 33rd in the world and holds 1,535 points, of which almost a third, totaling 500, come from his title last year in the United Arab Emirates. If he were to fall in the first round, he would leave the top 50 club and anything other than winning the title would mean a significant drop in the rankings for him.

The Greek player, who will drop out of the top 40 next Monday, assures he feels "at home with my team," while regretting "certain decisions I made hastily."
The Greek makes some emotional statements before starting his title defense in Dubai and shows enthusiasm for feeling like himself again.
Andrey Rublev has shown Stefanos Tsitsipas why no one can stand up to him in the ATP 500 in Doha. The defending champion from Russia defeated the Greek 6-3 7-6(2) after an hour and a half of a match where he was superior to his opponent and, above all, more consistent. Rublev has not dropped a set yet in a tournament that suits him perfectly, and he now awaits in the semifinals the winner between Carlos Alcaraz and Karen Khachanov.

After his significant victory against Daniil Medvedev at the ATP Doha 2026, Stefanos Tsitsipas has come to the defense of the one-handed backhand, which he believes is gradually disappearing. "I want children to see that in modern tennis the one-handed backhand still exists. I want more kids to start playing with a one-handed backhand. I feel like it's fading a bit. Grigor Dimitrov would agree with me. We have talked about it many times," he stated courtside.
