Tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has revealed that he is ready to reinvent in other to make a return to the top 10 after enduring a tough year in the just-concluded season.
The Greek won just one title, and slipped out of the top 10 in the rankings, but he is now targeting a return to his former position, starting with the United Cup.
He said: “I’m looking at kind of reinventing myself.
“I felt like I’ve been stuck in a pattern over the last few months. I haven’t been able to kind of unlock the pattern.
“I’m looking for a fresh, new 2025. That doesn’t mean to suddenly just start winning everything.
“It’s just to see a trajectory of constant improvement and improving in all fields in my career, but also in my outside life … I want to have stability in my life,”
He is starting the year outside the top 10 for the first time since 2019 and he is hoping he won’t be under pressure to return back to the top 10.
Tsitsipas said: “I don’t think there’s that much pressure when you’re outside of the top 10. Well, probably there is some pressure in terms of like now it’s my opportunity to add on points and get some good weeks going.”
The United Cup will serve as a preparation for Tsitsipas for the Australian Open, where he was a losing finalist in 2023.
The United Cup is an 18-team, mixed-team competition. The 10-day tournament begins on Dec. 27 and will be played across two cities, Sydney (Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre) and Perth (RAC Arena).
