Tsitsipas owns staggering losing percentage in ATP 500 finals during the Open Era

Stefanos Tsitsipas has the worst winning percentage in ATP 500 finals during the Open Era.

Ranked as the world No. 7, he has remained consistently within the top 10 for over four years, achieving his best ranking at third position. However, Tsitsipas has a rather disappointing record when it comes to finals, especially those in ATP 500 tournaments.

The 24-year-old Greek has already claimed 10 titles, including seven from ATP 250 events, 2 Masters 1000 titles, and an ATP Finals victory in 2019. However, his challenge lies in the ATP 500 category, where he has reached 10 finals and surprisingly hasn't won a single one.

Tsitsipas played his first ATP 500 final at the 2018 Barcelona Open, where he lost to Rafael Nadal. Since then, he has faced defeat in at least one ATP 500 final every year: four on clay and six on hard courts (two of these being indoor tournaments).

This remarkable record means he has a 0% winning rate in finals within this category, a far cry from other players who have reached at least 10 ATP 500 finals.

In terms of the losing percentage in the Open Era, the next player with the most "negative" record is Kei Nishikori, who has won 50% of his ATP 500 finals. The Japanese player has competed in 12 ATP 500 finals, securing victory in 6 of them, with the last one coming at the 2015 Washington Open.

David Ferrer follows him with a 47% loss rate, having won 10 titles in this category and experiencing 9 losses in finals. Behind them is Novak Djokovic's coach, Goran Ivanisevic, with a 46% loss rate.

On a different note, this week Tsitsipas begins his participation in the 2023 US Open, where he is set to face Canadian Milos Raonic on Monday, August 28, at the Louis Armstrong Stadium.
