The Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas25 years old and world No. 7, experienced another disappointment in falling to Arthur Fils (7-6, 7-6) in the ATP semifinals of Antwerp (Belgium) and has accumulated seven losses in 13 games since its last title in Los Cabos (Mexico).

It seems that Antwerp could be a revival tournament for Tsitsipas, in the crisis of play and results, but Fils, at 19 years old one of the great hopes of French tennis, stopped lifting the Greek player in Antwerp.
Arthur Fils this week enjoys the best world ranking of his early career (38th) and will play this Sunday against the Kazakh Alexander Bublik (36th) his second ATP final after debuting his record in May on Lyon. Bublik defeated the German in the first semifinal Maximilian Marterer for the double 6-4.
Tsitsipas was left without a fourth final of the season: he won the Australian last July in Los Cabos Alex De Minaurbut lost in the first quarter of the year against Serbian Novak Djokovic within Australian Open and before the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz within Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-Conde de Godó Trophy. The Greek has won 10 ATP titles in 27 finals played.
Since his win in Los Cabos, Tsitsipas has lost more games (7) than he has won (6), an unexpected loss that has raised alarms around a player who calls for great victories when he has burst into the circuit: he is champion of 2019 Masters at the age of 21 only.
