Stefanos Tsitsipas is not having a great moment. The Greek sensation lost the French Open final after he was leading his Novak Djokovic by 2 sets. Stefanos tried to reset and have a good run in Wimbledon. However, things to do no go according to the plan and he lost as early as in the first round in straight sets at the hands of Frances Tiafoe.
Stefanos will compete at the upcoming Olympic Games later in the month. Nevertheless, losing so early in Wimbledon left a big hole in his schedules. Therefore, Stefanos Tsitsipas decided to accept a wild card for the upcoming ATP 500 that will be staged in Hamburg.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has a great relationship with the local crowd in Hamburg. However, last year he had a huge heartbreak in the German city when he lost the final after being unable to serve out the match against Andrey Rublev when leading 5-3 in the deciding set. Eventually, Stefanos dropped 4 consecutive games to lose 6-4 3-6 7-5.
This is the actual entry list.
