Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has been making constant progress in the men’s circuit. In recent years, he is one of the few names that has managed to bother the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

However, in recent months, Stefanos Tsitsipas has not been in top form. He suffered early losses in the Tokyo Olympics 2020, followed by the US Open 2021. His father, Apostolos Tsitsipas, recently revealed that his son was suffering from an injury, which was the reason behind those below-par results. 

The 2021 French Open finalist’s father stated, “This injury was present throughout the US tour, at the US Open, in Toronto, in Cincinnati, and at the Olympics. Specialized measures were taken to deal with this problem. but it was considered necessary to rest (after the US Open) for 2 weeks.”

At the moment, Stefanos is recovering. In fact, he took to the practice courts recently and had a light hit. He understands his body well and his father feels he will make the right decision with regards to the upcoming tournaments. 

He further added, “Stefanos has been recovering all this time. Today he hit the field for half an hour, he tried things. He knows his body very well and I think he will make the decision, to say that he is ready to do what he needs to do the next two days”, added the coach and Stefanos’ father.
