Hello!

The tennis career of Stefanos Tsitsipas is looking
quite bad at the moment. His ranking has dipped to
#51. He did manage to beat Alex De Minaur, but lost
6-0 6-1 to Arthur Fils. I did not see his loss, but
judging by the rough score, it must have been awful.

I wonder whether he will ever reach a Gran Slam
singles final again. It looks pretty bad. Will
Tsitsipas become like Dominic Thiem who never
recovered from his injuries?

Fils did say, afterwards, that he played the match of his life. For what
that is worth worth analyzing Tsitsipas current form.

I bet he played a perfect match, but Tsitsipas's performances
have been pretty bad lately. But he did beat Alex De Minaur
in the round before his defeat.

Let's see how he manages the transition to clay.

Tsitsipas' story is one of the saddest in tennis I've ever witnessed.

It was as if choking away the match to Djokovich at Wimbledon in 2921,
then underscoring this chokey-ness at the AO final in 2023 took it all
out of him.

Plus, the tour players figured out how best to get to his BH--an
aesthetically pleasing, but inconsistent, shot.

Basically, he's done.

It all began on that one fateful night. The night Alcatraz emasculated
Tsi. Alcatraz was then a mere teensy-weensy fist pumping choker ranked
umpteen and then some and Tsi was the Prince of Tennis at #5. That night
Tsi realised his game would never match that of Alcatraz the young
Berber Usurper. The inheritance that Tsi thought was a sure thing, was
gone for good. The path from there on was clear. It would be first Ouzo,
then Badosa going going gone, and finally, lack of practice and injuries.
