2023 and a déjà vu for Sakkari: a loss against Katarína Muchová: 6-7, 5-7.

Her best years as tennis player are over. She will soon fall out of the Top 10 ranking and slowly start sinking in the rankings.

What makes you say that? She has played pretty well up to now.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsitsipas - Carballés 6-3, 7-6 and 6-2.

in R3 his opponent will be Diego Schwartzman. Yes, a super German surname for this Argentinian.

She has not shown any improvement for the past year or so. And now she losing games in first round to a much lower ranked players. Also she is not getting any younger. I think her best days are over. It appears that she's more interested in her love life with the prime minister's son than working hard to win tennis games.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsitsipas - Schwarzman 6-2, 6-2 and 6-3.

Next opponent is Austrian Sebastian Ofner.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsitsipas - Ofner 7-5, 6-3 and 6-0.

Next opponent #1 seed Carlos Alcaraz!

[paokarag4]

Gonna be a tough one Alcaraz owns a 4-0 record against Tsitisipas, including as recently as April where Alcaraz beat him in the Barcelona Open final which is also played on clay. 

[Dutch Eagle]

5-0 now. Tsitsipas was spanked in the QF: 6-2, 6-1 and 7-6.

[Dutch Eagle]

2024:

R1: Maria Sakkari (seed #6) - Varvara Gracheva (France) 6-3, 4-6 and 3-6 and out is Sakkari.

[Dutch Eagle]

R1 for Tsitsipas (seeded #9) against Márton Fucsovics (Hungary): 7-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Opponent in R2: Daniel Altmaier (Germany).

[Antaeus7]

It's very frustrating to watch Sakkari get bounced out of the early rounds of grand slam events.

Stefanos won (6-3, 6-2, 6-7 and 6-4).

In R3 his opponent is from either Italy or China.

Chinese Zhang Zhizhen was his opponent and Stefanos won in straight sets: 6-3, 6-3 and 6-1.

Next opponent Matteo Arnaldi from Italy. 

[Antaeus7]

If Tsitsipas would to have a shot at getting his first grand slam title, he will need to defeat an opponent he never won in 5 meetings, Carlos Alcaraz of Spain. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Arnaldi was defeated 3-6, 7-6, 6-2 and 6-2

Next hurdle indeed the " sofar unbeatable" Alcaraz.

[Dutch Eagle]

The cryptonite won. 3-6, 6-7 and 4-6.

Tsitsipas gets another shot in 2025.

[Dutch Eagle]

And as expected she was defeated 6-3, 7-6.

At least she keeps the same amount of ranking points as the result is the same as last year.......

[Dutch Eagle]

And Tsitsipas is out too. 4-6, 7-5, 2-6 and 4-6.
