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.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
