You can quote me on this: Stefanos Tsitsipas will never win a Grand Slam singles title.

[TimHenmanATG]

The 2021 Roland Garros final was as good as it's ever going to get for the long-haired Athenian.

It's clear that his career is now stalling, whilst the likes of Daniil Medvedev and Alexander "Zed" Zverev are stepping up to the plate - and now delivering.

Throw in the likes of Shapovalov, Auger-Aliassime, Ruud, Alcaraz, Sinner, et al., and it's rapidly becoming clear that Stefanos "Stef" Tsitsipas is getting subsumed by the field.

There's just no room for passengers in the 2021+ Wild West ATP field.

 

[Jokervich]

I hope he won't, lets put it that way

 

[Lleytonstation]

Unfortunately he will. Not much in his way after Djoker.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Throw in the likes of Shapovalov, Auger-Aliassime, Ruud, Alcaraz, Sinner, et al., and it's rapidly becoming clear that Stefanos "Stef" Tsitsipas is getting subsumed by the field.

These guys don't stand in Tsits way. None of those guys will be as successful as Tsits.

 

[Seth]

The only thing that can stop him is a change to the bathroom policy between sets.

Dude is awful.

 

[TimHenmanATG]

These guys don't stand in Tsits way. None of those guys will be as successful as Tsits.

Things aren't just going to go "Tsits up" for the Greek.

It's going to be "Tsits out" in the first few days at every major tournament.

None of the Next Gens will win a slam.
Novak will win until he gets bored in a few years.
And then there will be a new next gen with better players.

It could and it wouldn't surprise me, but he will find his way to a slam victory in the next decade in this era.

The winner of the 2021 US Open is pretty much going to be either Daniil Medvedev or Alexander "Alex" Zverev. Which one of these two would you not classify as "Next Gen"?!

 

[James P]

Hate to admit because he's my least favorite of the NextGen crowd, but I think Tsitsipas will probably end up with the most slams, at least of the 96-99 crowd. Still hard to say about the 2000+ kids.

 

[Kralingen]

I usually disagree with your predictions but for this one I sincerely hope you’re correct.

Sadly he looks like a multi slam winner easily, only turned 23 last week.

 

[tudwell]

Unless he can really improve his return, I think he might be stuck with clay as the only surface where he really has a shot at winning. And I’d say he has a pretty good shot, but he’ll still have Novak, Nadal, and Thiem, if the latter two can get back to form, standing in his way, plus whoever else rises up (Zverev has quite a resume on clay as well). Wouldn’t be incredibly shocking if he fails to win a slam, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Edit: I guess I shouldn’t say he doesn’t have a shot on hard, but there are other guys who are clearly better on the surface and in general it’s a deeper field. Could definitely snag a hard court slam at some point, but I think Roland Garros is much more likely.

 

[BeatlesFan]

The winner of the 2021 US Open is pretty much going to be either Daniil Medvedev or Alexander "Alex" Zverev.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Unless someone from the younger generation or someone we don't know exists yet is really good on Clay, he will win the FO. A few times.

Respect the prediction though, it's ballsy.

 

[TimHenmanATG]

Nah, Novak is not in the picture anymore.

His angst-ridden capitulation in Tokyo was just a portent for things to come.

The only players stopping the likes of Medvedev, Zverev, Rublev, et al. in 2021-22 are - sadly - not the old stagers.

Novak Djokovic will be the winner of UsOpen and I guess you know that.

He will he has mental lapses but so do all these young guys he has the game and he works hard to Improve the 3 of Zverev, med and tsitsi will be slam winner and u can quote me on that

 

[NedStark]

Alexander "Zed" Zverev are stepping up to the plate - and now delivering

Who has zero Slam win over top 10 so far, despite being 24 now.

 

[TimHenmanATG]

Novak Djokovic will be the winner of UsOpen and I guess you know that.

He's run out of puff.

I honestly would rate his chances of winning the US Open as less than 10%.

He just doesn't have it in him anymore:

Your position makes a lot of sense. If a guy who didn't win a slam or even get to a final and topped out at #4 is an ATG to you, it's only logical that a guy tied for the most grand slams would have next to no chance at USO or next year in your @$$ backwards world.

You sound quite "salty".

Did dreamy Timbo steal your girl, back in 2001?

you're right; the salty one can't be the one creating a thread making stupid predictions and posting pointless gifs.

 

[AO13]

I honestly think this guy is just being a sarcastic troll.

Tsitsipas will win between 7 and 12 Slams in his career, in my unworkmanlike humble opinion.

There's a bigger chance Novak won't win a Slam untill the end of his career, than Tsitsipas not winning one.

 

[aman92]

Ridiculous take.. He will most definitely will.. At least 3.

 

[Mediterranean Might]

Ridiculous take.. He will most definitely will.. At least 3.

+1. He can get 3 at RG alone. He's the best clay courter right now outside of Djokovic and Nadal

 

[Kralingen]

Tsitsipas 3rd best clay player ever posts will be hilarious in the mid 20s after he wins 2 or 3 RGs

 

[aman92]

And a more than decent chance at hard court slams as well.. I am betting him to win one in 2022

 

[junior74]

That's the level of the tour now. Old Novak gives them the look, and they fall.

However, we now enter a "someone has to win" era... and I think Tsitsipas is among those. 3-5 slams is my prediction.

4 slams per year is quite a lot. From 2023-2027 alone that’s 20 Slams up for grabs. We will see some hilarious numbers rolling in and I don’t think most people are prepared for it.

Your quote may come back to bite you. He will definitely win. He's only 22.


I hope he changes his stupid vaccination stance though.

We'll either look like geniuses or we'll look like the people who predicted Gasquet to dominate tour and Rafa to fizzle lol

 

[Sunny014]

Stefanos the joker is never winning Wimbledon, that is for sure.
He seems pretty poor at the US open too.
Other slams I am not sure, he can win the french I guess...at least he has time until Alcarez matures, once that happens then no way.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I don't know. He's only just turned 23.

 

[Hitman]

Disagree with this.

The way it looks to me is that, Tsitsipas and NOT Thiem is the actual heir apparent to the clay realm and the RG title. If you go all the back to 2018, he was already making waves back then, getting to the Barcelona final. The surface clearly suits his game, his stroke production a lot more and it also hides a lot of his weakness, such as the inabilty to hit a short angle slice. I think, and you can quote me on this... , Tsitsipas will be a multiple time slam champion and many of them will come from RG. He is knocking on that door now, and after Nadal is gone, he will likely take over.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Nah, Novak is not in the picture anymore.

Yes, a guy who’s won the first three slams of the year is totally irrelevant.

 

[Krish872007]

2.5 years later - all ebbs and flows.
