GSTAAD/STARNBERG, April 21, 2026

Stefanos Tsitsipas has long been one of the defining figures on the ATP Tour. A former world No. 3, the Greek has captured 12 titles and reached 18 finals, including Grand Slam showdowns in Melbourne and Paris. His game – built on attacking flair, creativity, and a stunning one-handed backhand – is a spectacle in itself. Combined with his fiery temperament and unmistakable Mediterranean charisma, Tsitsipas continues to captivate audiences around the globe.

Yet few places have resonated with him quite like Gstaad. The self-described tennis philosopher, who often documents his travels through film and photography, found immediate inspiration at the alpine venue during his debut in 2024. Despite falling in the semifinals to eventual champion Matteo Berrettini, Tsitsipas spoke glowingly of the tournament’s unique atmosphere – so much so that he even considered buying a chalet in the mountains. Now ranked No. 80 in the world, his return to Gstaad could provide the spark he needs for a strong second half of the season.

This year’s EFG Swiss Open Gstaad once again boasts a strong and diverse field. Among the standout newcomers are Italy’s top-10 star Lorenzo Musetti (ATP No. 9) and Monaco’s rising talent Valentin Vacherot (ATP No. 17), who recently impressed with a semifinal run in Monte Carlo. Joining them are three former champions: Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik (ATP No. 11), Norway’s Casper Ruud (ATP No. 15), and fan favorite Matteo Berrettini (ATP No. 92).

Beyond the current top contenders, one name promises particularly emotional moments: three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka (ATP No. 106), who continues his farewell tour. As he takes to the court in front of a home crowd, Gstaad is set to deliver the kind of unforgettable atmosphere that has become its hallmark.

The ATP 250 tournament will be held from July 11 to 19. For tickets, please click here.
