The Greek star was in complete control throughout, putting on a clinic against the world number six. It hasn’t been an easy road back for Tsitsipas, who struggled with injuries and coaching issues during a difficult 2025 season that saw him drop out of the top 50.
He’s shown clear signs of improvement this year but remains outside the top 50 heading into his fourth-round clash with Arthur Fils – who is now working with Ivanisevic. Tsitsipas spoke about his current ranking situation before that match.

“Why am I saying this? Because when you’re at a certain ranking, you’re used to something else, and you find yourself in the 50s. “Whether you’re 50 or 60 at this point, it doesn’t really matter.
I’m not even checking the ranking anymore; it’s probably going to matter more when I start getting into top 20 again. Then I might start being more conscious and more caring about my status there. ” The interviewer then responded: “Trust me, I’ve heard other players say about your ranking that they’re quite disappointed that you’re so low because they’re afraid of having to face you early on.
