Stefanos Tsitsipas this week opened up what he wants from 2025. Tsitsipas's only title win this year came at the Monte-Carlo Masters, where he squared off against Casper Rudd in the final, dominating the match 6-1, 6-4. The Greek athlete concluded his 2024 season after competing at the Paris Masters.
This week, speaking before the start of the United Cup, he opened up about his personal and professional plans for the 2025 season. He said that he was looking for a fresh start and wanted to keep on improving "in all fields." Tsitsipas said (via ASAP Sports),
"I'm looking for a fresh, new 2025. That doesn't mean to suddenly just start winning everything. That's not the point of this (smiling). It's just to see a trajectory of constant improvement, and improving in all fields in my career, but also in my outside life."
He added:
"I want to have stability in my life. Last year was a little bit up-and-down in terms of results, in terms of feelings outside of the court and on-court. So I'm just hoping 2025 brings stability, a lot of health. I also struggled with those kind of issues in the past. I'm hoping just for a healthy 2025 and one that brings me lots of good memories. It doesn't have to be happiness, just lots of good memories."
At the Paris Masters, his last tournament of the year, Tsitsipas reached the quarterfinal after defeating Roberto Carballes Baena, Alejandro Tabilo, and Francisco Cerundolo. However, in the quarterfinal, he was bested by Alexander Zverev 7-5, 6-4.
Stefanos Tsitsipas on starting the year outside of the top 10
In the aforementioned interview, Stefanos Tsitsipas also spoke about starting the 2025 season outside of the ATP top 10. He said that being in this position has reduced the pressure on him, and he is looking forward to how it goes. He also spoke about how he needs to be consistent from the start of the season.
"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. Looking forward to it."
He added,
"When you're on the tour for so many years, you know what it takes to get back to where you remember being. There is a pattern there of what it requires you to get back there. You just need to be consistent throughout the year."
Stefanos Tsitsipas has won 11 ATP Tour titles in his career.
