Stefanos Tsitsipas had a tough experience at the Olympic Games. The Greek sensation was aiming at bringing at least one medal for his country. Unfortunately, he lost in the third round in singles and the quarterfinals in mixed doubles. He ultimately lost to Ugo Humbert of France.

During the match, he rolled his ankle and to add insult to injury, it was on the set point in the tiebreaker which allowed Ugo to clinch the first set 7-6. His problems started even before the Olympics though, as he lost to American Frances Tiafoe in the opening round itself after making a huge impression at the French Open, where he reached the final, ultimately losing to Novak Djokovic.

After the defeat to Humbert, Stefanos’ entourage mentioned him struggling with an injury. He, however, quashed any such claims, recording a video message recognizing that there was some doubt over his fitness.

“Hello Everyone, many of you are worried about my injury a few days ago,” said the Greek before coming to the main point of discussion. “I just want to let you know that I feel good and comfortable too, which is important. Nothing to fear,” said Stefanos which would come as a huge sigh of relief to those who doubts on his participation in the Hard Court series before the US Open and the Grand Slam itself too.

Now that he has cleared himself to play in the tournaments in the lead up to the Slam, Stefanos will now head to Canada where he will take part in the Rogers Cup in Toronto before he moves to play at the ATP 1000 Cincinnati Open. He then goes to the Slam, which starts on the 30th of August.
