Stefanos Tsitsipas has reflected on a challenging 2024 season and revealed his primary goals for 2025. After a year marked by inconsistency, including a drop out of the world’s top 10 and failure to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time since 2018, Tsitsipas is focused on revitalizing his career.
Looking ahead, Tsitsipas emphasized two major ambitions: winning his first Grand Slam title and securing an Olympic medal. These goals hold deep personal significance, especially as the Paris 2024 Olympics will be held on the clay courts of Roland Garros, a surface where Tsitsipas has historically thrived. Additionally, he expressed a dream of partnering with his brother, Petros, in doubles at the Games, showcasing the importance of family in his career.
Tsitsipas acknowledged that 2024 was far from his best, describing the year as disappointing despite notable moments like winning the Monte Carlo Masters. To address his setbacks, he plans to focus on a comprehensive off-season training regimen, including refining specific weaknesses and collaborating with new coaching staff. He recently ended his professional on-court relationship with his father, Apostolos, and has enlisted Dimitris Chatzinikolaou as his coach. However, Tsitsipas emphasized that his father remains a vital influence on his journey.
As 2025 approaches, Tsitsipas aims for consistency and success across all tournaments, aspiring for a season he can be proud of. His determination to overcome past struggles and achieve his career milestones signals a potentially exciting year ahead for the Greek star.
he ATP Tour can be an unforgiving beast, and this year the Greek couldn’t quite find the form that fans are used to expecting from him.
Tsitsipas reached the fourth round of the Australian Open earlier this year, falling to Taylor Fritz in four sets, a disappointing start to the year, having reached the final in 2023.
He bounced back on his preferred clay however, as Tsitsipas won his third Monte-Carlo Masters title, taking down Casper Ruud in the principality.
