Exclusive: Stefanos Tsitsipas honestly admits he stopped enjoying tennis
Stefanos Tsitsipas was through a rough season last year, where he was dealing with a serious back injury, and now the Greek shares his very honest thoughts in this exclusive interview with Bolavip.
Last year was unlike anything he had experienced before. Battling a serious back injury, Tsitsipas endured a difficult season that saw him drop out of the top ten, now being ranked just 32 in the world.
In an exclusive interview with Bolavip at the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam, Tsitsipas opened up about the toll the past year has taken on him, sharing his honest feelings about injury, uncertainty, and how it affected his love for the game. The Greek star began the interview on a light note, joking: “Did it look like I was moving well on the court? It didn’t always feel like that.”
Stefanos Tsitsipas Has Tennis Fans Speculating About Early Retirement
Five years ago, Stefanos Tsitsipas seemed destined to be a Grand Slam champion. Now, fans are wondering if he'll retire before he turns 28.
Tsitsipas, the former world No. 3, had a brutal 2025 season to say the least. Not only did he suffer early exits at all four major tournaments, he suffered a back injury that limited his explosiveness on the court.
"Well, I had a big period without playing tennis, which I never had before during my career. I felt like I was away from the court and the competition, and all of a sudden I was just an observer of tennis and the ATP Tour instead of being a participant," Tsitsipas told Bolavip. "It did feel very odd and frustrating, because I couldn't do much. My back is like it is and there are only a certain amount of things I can do, but if my back refuses to get better and refuses to heal, the only thing I can do is wait and visit as many doctors as possible who are specialists in this area."

Tsitsipas: I Stopped Enjoying the Game Last Year
A painful back issue and premature endings took the pleasure out of tennis for Stefanos Tsitsipas last season.
