Stefanos Tsitsipas had a not-so-nice experience in Wimbledon, where he lost in the first round in straight sets to Frances Tiafoe. The Greek sensation had a clear shot at going deep at the Championships and even snatch the world number 3 from Rafael Nadal.
Things did not go according to plans and eventually Tsitsipas was also in danger of losing the fourth place in the rankings at the hands of Alexander Zverev or Andrey Rublev. Nevertheless, both Zverev and Rublev lost in the 4th round and therefore, Stefanos will retain his 4th spot.
The next threat in line for Stefanos would be Matteo Berrettini, but if the Italian wins Wimbledon, he would have 6288 points that are not enough to overcome Stefanos, who has 8150 points.
Stefanos Tsitsipas will play the ATP 500 in Hamburg next week.
Here the live rankings.
