Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas’s participation in the Australian Open 2024 remains a big risk after he was withdrawn from the World Tennis League.

The 25-year-old did not have a great ending to the 2023 season after he was withdrawn from the ATP Finals in Turin due to a back injury. Tsitsipas decided to take part in the event in the doubles category but was eventually replaced by Lloyd Harris after just one match.

Tsitsipas, in a recent interview admitted in a recent interview that the injury he suffered during the ATP Finals was a painful one. "The injury was painful, really painful, because I couldn't finish the last tournament of the year, he said.

“So it had a big impact on my body. In the days following the ATP Finals I had difficulty waking up and getting out of bed. In fact, the pain I felt for a week or two was very severe,”

Tsitsipas had a rather average 2023 season despite starting it brightly. He played in the final of the Australian Open earlier this year where he was defeated by the current world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5).
