Stefanos Tsitsipas Aims to End Title Drought in Swiss Open Final

Stefanos Tsitsipas will battle for his first ATP title in over a year when he takes on Raphaël Collignon in the Swiss Open Gstaad 2026 final on July 19. The Greek star, ranked 85th in the world, has shown flashes of his former dominance on clay, but can he end his title drought against the rising Belgian?

What happened in Gstaad?

Tsitsipas reached the final with hard-fought wins over Ignacio Buse, Jérôme Kym, Arthur Rinderknech, and Aleksandr Shevchenko. His serve has been a weapon, broken only three times in four matches. Meanwhile, Collignon stunned sixth seed Juan Manuel Cerúndolo in the semifinals to reach his first ATP final.

Why this final matters for Stefanos Tsitsipas

The 27-year-old hasn’t won a title since the 2025 Dubai Tennis Championships. A victory in Gstaad would boost his confidence and ranking. Tsitsipas holds a 73% win rate on clay, and his heavy forehand could be key against the Belgian’s aggressive style.

What to expect in the final

Collignon, who beat Ben Shelton at the French Open, is no stranger to big moments. But Tsitsipas’ experience in 31 ATP finals may prove decisive. The Greek star’s serve and clay-court pedigree give him the edge in what promises to be a thrilling three-set battle.
