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 US Open, which ⁠begins on August ⁠30.
