Court assignments reveal Tsitsipas rough patch at the US Open
On day three at the US Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas was sent to Court 7, a sign of how far he has fallen from the Grand Slam contender he once was. Ranked No. 28 amid a back injury, he faced France’s Alexandre Müller and fought through a tense finish to win 4-6, 6-0, 6-1, 7-6(5). The smaller court and the crowd’s energy gave him a lift, underscoring how court placement can mirror a player’s current form.

Tsitsipas on how fans influenced his focus
The scene at Flushing Meadows shows tennis evolving around the margins as much as around the main stages. When a player struggles, a side court becomes a proving ground where nerves meet opportunity. Tsitsipas’s progress, limited as it is, matters because it hints at a possible shift back toward competitiveness rather than a steady decline. The day’s energy also reveals a broader dynamic: fans chase authentic moments in a tournament that can lean toward spectacle. The outside courts offered a stage where momentum can flip in an instant, and a crowd can become a player’s seventh shot.
