Stefanos Tsitsipas has faced his last two losses against two 19-year-olds Carlos Alcaraz in Barcelona and Holger Rune at Roland Garros. Tsitsipas who himself is 23-years old and is currently the world No.4, has a lot of experience in playing tough matches and winning them.
But in the last few months, it looks like the Greek hasn’t managed to the expectations that were set due to his previous performances. He used to play solid tennis and used to not only compete but defeat some of the legendary players in the world. But his recent dip in form indicates that he is doing something wrong.
Having faced consecutive defeats at the hands of some talented teenagers might’ve made him lose confidence in his own game. However, it is in his hands to improve his performance because at the time it seems that younger talent is rushing in and comfortably winning matches against him.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has been a revelation in tennis. He is still young and has managed to win some amazing matches and make his mark in professional tennis. He has won matches against the greats of the world and due to that has made a name for himself.
However, after performing against top players there is a certain expectation from the player. But this season Tsitsipas hasn’t been able to live up to those. It seems that there is some kind of hindrance that is bothering him.
When asked about the need to prove himself in front of these youngsters have been in their position himself not too long ago. Tsitsipas said, “These kids are going to want to beat me badly because obviously, they are chasing. I’m chasing too, but I’m in a different kind of position than they are. I’m hungry to beat them too. Now that they have beat me I want payback.”
