'Stefanos Tsitsipas should win a Major, it's a matter of time', said Mouratoglou

In his young career, the 22-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas already scored victories over Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer at Majors and the Masters 1000 events.

Coming from a small tennis nation without rich tennis tradition, Stefanos barely surviving the junior days financially, working hard and showing his talent. Soon, he became a part of the Mouratoglou Academy in France, working with the finest coaches and improving his game en route to the top of the ATP list.

Reaching the Masters 1000 final and the semi-final at Majors, Stefanos is still seeking that first title at that level after conquering the ATP Finals in 2019. Patrick Mouratoglou has no doubts that Stefanos is a Major material, praising his game and hoping to see him with a Major trophy very soon.

"I think Stefanos' level of tennis is very high. When he plays at his best, he can defeat anyone. Stefanos has already beaten the world's best players. He took down Roger Federer at a Major and Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the Masters 1000 level. Stefanos' main problem comes when he plays below his usual level; in those cases, he can suffer early losses at big tournaments, like against Borna Coric in New York last year.

You have good days and bad days during a Major that lasts for 15 days. Major champions are capable of winning a match even on a bad day. Stefanos used to panic while not delivering his greatest level to the court, and those moments are psychological and a matter of tactics. When he is down or chasing the result, his strokes are flat and fast, which makes him missing a lot. When you play flat, the ball returns the same way, and you can't speed up the point and take the pressure off your back.

It puts you under even greater stress. I think Stefanos has understood that, and now he plays with more height and depth in the moments when he is not in the leading position. I believe that Stefanos can win a Major title; it's a matter of time, but it's hard to tell when it would come. The most important thing is that he is on the right track," Patrick Mouratoglou said.
