Stefanos Tsitsipas claims first ATP title since March 2025 in straight-sets win

Stefanos Tsitsipas crushed his first title drought in over a year on 18 June 2025, claiming the ATP Geneva Open with a clinical straight-sets victory.

What happened in Geneva?

Tsitsipas dropped just four games in the final against qualifier Alexander Bublik, sealing a 6-3, 6-2 scoreline in 68 minutes. The Greek third seed struck 12 winners while conceding only three unforced errors. Bublik managed just two break points all match, converting none.

Why this win matters for Tsitsipas

The title ends a 16-month stretch without silverware for Tsitsipas, whose last triumph came at the 2025 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships in March. It also lifts him back inside the top 10 in the ATP rankings. The victory follows three finals losses since Dubai, including a five-set heartbreak to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland-Garros in June.

How Tsitsipas turned the corner

After a sluggish clay swing, Tsitsipas sharpened his serve in Geneva, winning 78% of first serves and converting all four break chances. His backhand cross-court proved unstoppable, repeatedly wrong-footing Bublik. Coach Neville Godwin called it a "complete performance" after the match.

What comes next for the Greek ace

Tsitsipas now eyes Wimbledon, where he’ll open against either Jordan Thompson or Thanasi Kokkinakis. A deep run at the All England Club would push him toward a seeding battle with Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev for the year-end finals.
