Tsitsipas wins Swiss Open title to claim first ATP Trophy in 16 months

July 19 (Reuters) - Stefanos Tsitsipas ended a 16-month wait for an ATP Tour title when the Greek defeated ​Belgium's Raphael Collignon 6-4 6-7(3) 6-3 to win ‌the Swiss Open in Gstaad on Sunday. The victory was Tsitsipas' first title since he beat Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime in ​the Dubai Tennis Championships final in March 2025 ​and the 13th ATP singles crown of ⁠his career. "I would like to start by mentioning ​how amazing the final was today," Tsitsipas said. "It's been ​a long time so it does mean a lot to me." The 27-year-old, a former world number three currently ranked 85th ​in the world, produced a strong serving performance ​in the two-hour 17-minute contest, firing four aces without a double ‌fault. ⁠He won 21 of 29 points on his second serve and saved two of the four break points he faced. Tsitsipas took the opening set before ​first-time ATP Tour ​finalist Collignon ⁠fought back to level the match in a second-set tiebreak. The Greek regained ​control in the decider, however, securing the ​break ⁠he needed to seal the title. The triumph provides a timely confidence boost for two-time Grand Slam finalist ⁠Tsitsipas as ​he looks to build momentum ​ahead of the U.S. Open, which begins on August 30.
