Stefanos Tsitsipas registered his first ATP title after 16 months as he won the Swiss Open Gstaad on Sunday. The Greek defeated Raphael Collignon 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-3 to go all the way in the clay ATP 250 event.
Tsitsipas, who recently suffered a second-round loss against Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, brought his A-game to the court against the Belgian.
“It’s a crazy feeling right now,” Tsitsipas said after winning his first tour-level title since Dubai in March 2025. “I survived a marathon and it was a long week. I played some crazy matches in the past couple of days… Every single match felt like It was never finished and somehow I managed to convert every single time and get the victory.
“Today I couldn’t be more blessed, couldn’t be more happy. It’s been an incredible effort from my side to go out there and do that over and over again. I’ve dealt with some pain in the past couple of days. So I’ve had to withstand a lot of different things. The result was obviously the best thing I would have imagined at the beginning of the week.”
The World No. 85 Tsitsipas converted five of 13 break points he earned against Collignon, according to Infosys ATP Stats. After this victory, Tsitsipas will take a jump of 30 places in the PIF ATP rankings, and he will move to the 55th rank on Monday.
“I’m going back home. I will need one or two days off. It’s been a long week,” Tsitsipas, now a 13-time tour-level champion, said. “It’s been a lot of crazy matches and I need some recovery and some rest in order to be ready for the American swing. I’m looking forward to trying to do the best possible results in the U.S. swing and in order to do that I’ll need to be fresh and prepared for a long few weeks on the road.”
Tsitsipas will look to carry the good form into the upcoming US swing.
