The European Open (October 13-20, 2024) has added a big name to its participants list. None other than Stefanos Tsitsipas, currently ranked 11th in the world and a two-time Grand Slam finalist, will be making his third appearance in Antwerp. “This is a moment every tennis fan looks forward to,” said tournament director Dick Norman.
It is becoming a tradition, and the presentation of Stefanos Tsitsipas fits well with the big names the European Open has attracted in the past, such as players like Thiem, Murray, and current world number 1 Jannik Sinner. Tsitsipas reached the semifinals in Antwerp last year and will undoubtedly be eager to take the trophy back to Athens this year.
Last year, he already added the doubles title to his resume, winning the final with his brother Petros. The strong bond within the Tsitsipas family was evident, as he received vocal support from his father, mother, and girlfriend Paula Badosa in the audience.
Tsitsipas, now 25 years old and ranked 11th in the world, has become a staple in the professional tennis circuit over the past few years. With his long hair, unique one-handed backhand and loads of charisma, the Greek has quickly distinguished himself as one of the most promising talents in the tennis world.
“We are very excited about Stefanos Tsitsipas’ participation in our tournament,” said Dick Norman, tournament director of the European Open. “Stefanos’ dedication and achievements are an inspiration to many. We are convinced that he is a top favourite of Belgium’s largest tournament.”
“Tsitsipas recently reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros but lost to the eventual winner, Alcaraz. He has already won 9 titles in his young career, including the ATP Finals in Turin in 2019 and the prestigious ATP-1000 tournament in Monte Carlo in 2021, 2022 and 2024. His appearances in the finals of Roland Garros in 2021 and the Australian Open in 2023, both lost to Novak Djokovic, highlight the immense talent of this Greek legend.”
“There is no doubt that Tsitsipas’ presence will delight many tennis fans. His abundance of talent, passion, and the most beautiful backhand in the circuit are sights you must see with your own eyes.”
