Tsitsipas Suffers Early Munich Exit as Ranking Slips and Form Struggles Continue

Posted : 16 April 2026

Stefanos Tsitsipas endured another disappointing early exit on Wednesday after losing in the first round in Munich, a result that further exposed his ongoing struggles with form and fitness. The defeat to Fabian Marozsan came after the match resumed following a suspension due to darkness.

The Greek star eventually fell 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 in a contest that will see his world ranking drop into the 70s, marking his lowest position in eight years. The result continues a worrying decline for the former world No 3, who once regularly competed deep in major tournaments.

Tsitsipas has faced a difficult period since reaching Grand Slam finals at Roland Garros in 2021 and the Australian Open in 2023. Persistent injury issues, including a back problem in 2025, have disrupted his consistency and limited his progress on tour.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Tsitsipas acknowledged that his falling ranking means he is likely to face tougher opponents earlier in events. He admitted the challenge but said he is accepting his current situation as part of rebuilding his game.

The 27-year-old has also faced scrutiny over his preparation and consistency, with former coach Goran Ivanisevic previously criticising his professionalism after Wimbledon last year. Despite this, Tsitsipas insists he needs more match practice and is considering entering more ATP 250 events to regain rhythm.

Looking ahead, he has indicated plans to play a heavier schedule leading into the French Open, as he aims to rebuild confidence and return to form before the clay-court major begins in late May.
