Profile & career
Flamboyance and flair from Greece.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the greatest success stories in the history of the Mouratoglou Academy and the greatest Greek player of all time: the first from his country to break into the ATP top 100, he reached world No. 3 on 9 August 2021. European champion and world junior No. 1 in 2016, then Next Gen Masters winner in 2018, he quickly thrived on the main tour, winning the ATP Finals in London in 2019 and reaching two Grand Slam finals, at Roland-Garros in 2021 and the Australian Open in 2023.
After two difficult seasons, dropping out of the top 10 at the end of 2024 and falling as low as No. 88 in June 2026, he began rebuilding by handing his coaching over to the Mouratoglou Academy. His 13th title, in Gstaad in July 2026, ended a 17-month drought, and at the 2026 US Open he beat tenth seed Arthur Fils, fresh from winning the Cincinnati Masters 1000, for his first win over a top-20 player at a Grand Slam in more than three years. He was ranked No. 53 on 1 September 2026.
Did you know?His nickname is “Tsitsifast”.

Titles, year by year.
Stefanos Tsitsipas was already in the top 100 at the end of 2017 and broke through in 2018, reaching his first Masters 1000 final in Toronto, where he beat four top-10 players including Novak Djokovic, then winning his first ATP title in Stockholm and the Next Gen Masters. His biggest title remains the 2019 ATP Finals in London, won against Dominic Thiem. He has added three Masters 1000 titles, all in Monte-Carlo (2021, 2022, 2024), and his first ATP 500 title in Dubai in March 2025, after losing eleven finals at that level. One of the few players of his generation to have won on all three surfaces, he finished five consecutive seasons in the top 10, from 2019 to 2023. At Roland-Garros in 2021, after beating Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev, he led Djokovic by two sets to love in the final before losing in five; Djokovic also beat him in the 2023 Australian Open final. The US Open was long his most stubborn major: he had never gone past the third round in eight appearances, and before New York in 2026 he had not gone beyond the second round in his last eight Grand Slams. In 2026, two months after handing his preparation to the academy, he reached the fourth round there for the first time, losing to Ben Shelton, another player who has trained at the academy.

MOURATOGLOU ACADEMY
A unique story with the Mouratoglou Academy.
Patrick Mouratoglou fell for the young Greek, then around 15, while watching videos of his matches on YouTube, and took him under his wing in 2015. What attracted him was not so much his level as his incredible competitive spirit and his unique aura on court. “I owe a large part of my success to the Mouratoglou Academy, which helped me to see tennis from a different perspective because it is very difficult to become a professional player by staying in Greece,” Tsitsipas has said. Patrick also personally supervised his training sessions during his 2019 ATP Finals triumph.
In late June 2026 the story took a new turn. After a definitive split with his father Apostolos, who had coached him for most of his career, he handed his coaching over to the academy: he is now coached day to day by academy coach Thomas Perrin, who travels with him all season, while Patrick Mouratoglou oversees training, match preparation and post-match analysis. “I will be part of the team. I will supervise the training, the matches, and I will work alongside Thomas Perrin,” Patrick said on 3 July 2026, before travelling to the US Open, his first return to on-court coaching since Naomi Osaka. At the academy Stefanos has also worked with physical trainer Frédéric Lefebvre and physio Louis Fresneau. In between, he was coached by Greece's Dimitris Chatzinikolaou from August 2024 to early 2026, and briefly by Goran Ivanišević in the summer of 2025.

GAME & EQUIPMENT
How Stefanos plays.
His game
Stefanos Tsitsipas combines efficiency with panache: his attacking tennis and one-handed backhand make him almost a throwback to another era, to the delight of purists. His rare creativity reflects a deep, thoughtful personality that puts its own stamp on the codes of the time. That attacking, one-handed style also makes his rebuild demanding, as it calls for impeccable timing and fitness and leaves little margin on off days. Since the summer of 2026, the work with the academy has focused on regaining consistency without giving up risk-taking. “It has been a complicated year. I have beaten several top players this year, but I have also lost to players ranked beyond 30th or 40th. That inconsistency is the worrying part,” he said before the 2026 US Open.
His equipment
A loyal Wilson player, he uses the Wilson Blade 98 (18×20 string pattern) strung with Luxilon 4G monofilament (1.25 mm gauge).

SHOP MOURATOGLOUOFF THE COURT
“The Artist”.
Stefanos Tsitsipas's artistic side shows off the court too, in his content creation and his offbeat use of social media. He has launched a YouTube channel with vlogs of his travels around the world and a podcast called “A Greek Abroad”, while his X account has become a home for humorous, sometimes almost mystical reflections. His relationship with Spanish player Paula Badosa made him a favourite with online tennis fans and put him among the most-followed players.
