Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas recently experienced health struggles during the Paris Masters, sparking concerns about his condition ahead of the tournament’s later rounds. Tsitsipas acknowledged feeling physically unwell during his first-round match against Roberto Carballes Baena. Although he eventually found his rhythm and secured a comeback win, he admitted that it took longer than usual to feel comfortable on the court. He described his condition as unusual, noting that it clouded his focus initially, although he managed to use his strengths to turn the match around
As the tournament progresses, Tsitsipas will need to stay sharp, with a challenging potential matchup against Andrey Rublev looming if he advances. His recent history of health and performance fluctuations may add extra uncertainty to his Paris campaign. Having reached the milestone of 100 ATP Masters 1000 victories, Tsitsipas’s fitness and resilience will be crucial as he aims to close out the season on a strong note at the prestigious Paris Masters.

ATP Paris Bercy Quarterfinal Predictions
Holger Rune vs Alex de Minaur
Head-to-head: Rune 2-2 De Minaur
Both players are still hunting for a place in Turin, but their current prospects are quite different: while De Minaur almost guarantees a spot if he wins and is quite likely to make it even if he loses this match, Rune needs to win a second Bercy title to qualify. On paper, it’s a very close matchup but Rune does tend to play his best tennis at this venue and might just have the slighest of edges.
Prediction: Rune in 3
