Well, Stefanos Tsitsipas won only one title this season and it came in Monte Carlo! Apart from that, he has failed to make it count when it mattered the most this year. Tsitsipas failed to qualify for the ATP Finals this year for the first time since 2018. After six consecutive years finishing inside the Top 10, he ended the year as world number 11!

Speaking on this season and his upcoming goals, Stefanos Tsitsipas said, “2024 was not an easy year, I thought my level dropped down…I would really like to get back into the top ten. 2025 I would love to see myself back there and you know I love the Nitto [ATP Finals] because I had a nice tournament there once. Perhaps the last goal that I would like to disclose and mention is definitely a grand slam final.” Do you think Stefanos Tsitsipas can make it to the finals at the first Grand Slam tournament of the 2025 season?
