Stefanos Tsitsipas has withdrawn from the Vienna Open, marking his third consecutive tournament absence following withdrawals from Tokyo and Shanghai. Despite these setbacks, he recently participated in the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Riyadh.
Third straight withdrawal raises concerns
Tsitsipas was scheduled to face Lorenzo Musetti in the opening round of the ATP 500 event in Vienna, but pulled out just hours before the match. His withdrawal follows similar decisions at the China Open and the Shanghai Masters, raising questions about his physical condition and readiness for the final stretch of the season.
Exhibition appearance adds to confusion
Despite missing three official tournaments, Tsitsipas did compete in the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia, where he lost in the first round to Jannik Sinner. His participation in the non-ATP event sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some questioning the prioritization of exhibitions over tour-level commitments.
Injury concerns and season outlook
While no official medical statement has been released, Tsitsipas’s recent pattern suggests ongoing physical issues. The Greek player has struggled with form and consistency throughout the 2025 season, and his absence from key tournaments could impact his ATP ranking and qualification for year-end events.
The Playoffs reported that Tsitsipas was handed a tough draw in Vienna and was expected to face Musetti, the No. 4 seed, before pulling out due to injury concerns.
Fans await clarity on future schedule
With the ATP Finals approaching, Tsitsipas’s status remains uncertain. His team has yet to confirm whether he will compete in Turin, and fans are left hoping for a recovery that allows him to finish the season strong. The Greek star, once ranked No. 3 in the world, has seen his momentum stall amid recurring setbacks.
