Stefanos Tsitsipas wants to quickly forget his performance at Indian Wells 2025. Despite showing a good level of tennis in his first two matches at the Californian tournament, he succumbed clearly to Holger Rune (6-4, 6-4), who attacked his one-handed backhand relentlessly. However, the Greek prefers to focus on the game he displayed at the Dubai ATP 500, where he clinched the title after a week in which he appeared as the most comfortable, incisive, and dominating Tsitsipas in many years, partly thanks to his new racket.

This is the version he hopes to show at the Miami Open 2025, where he will debut against the winner of the match between Chung Hsin Teng and Mattia Belucci. While in the third round, he could meet Sebastian Korda and Daniil Medvedev in the round of 16. It remains to be seen whether the Greek will demonstrate his tennis from Indian Wells or Dubai, but what is clear is that he has taken a significant leap in level compared to his recent years. 

Innovations in his tennis

"There's a variation in my game; I feel like I have more options, or at least that's how I felt in my matches in Dubai. I feel empowered playing that way, as I couldn't do it before."

More confident than ever

"It gives me confidence to know that I can play this type of tennis, which makes me step onto the court with more hunger and work on the things I couldn't deal with before. Opening these new doors of discovery and thinking, 'What new things can I do? What can I add to my tennis?' and not feeling limited."

A new Tsitsipas

"I'm not sure if it's a new stage in my tennis life, but it has refreshed my mind, and I have added new ideas. And the word that could describe this moment is 'excitement.' Excitement to go train, excitement to play matches. Before, I didn't feel as prepared; I felt very limited with my tennis; I felt I lacked power in my shots. And now, I have no excuses; I'll go out to seize every opportunity I have to improve," says a Tsitsipas who seems to have found his way in Dubai and hopes to confirm his great change in Miami.
