Stefanos Tsitsipas' confidence appears to be at an all-time low, with his ranking continuing to slide toward the edge of the top 100. He was beaten by Ignacio Buse on grass just a few weeks ago, and the rematch now takes place on clay, the Peruvian's preferred surface. Given the current form of both players, Buse has every chance of repeating that win.

Tsitsipas Returns Under Pressure

  • Tsitsipas holds a 3–3 record in opening-round clay-court matches in 2026. 
  • He has a 5–12 record against Top 50 players this year. 
  • Buse owns a 9–4 record in opening-round tour-level matches in 2026. 
  • He has won nine of his last 11 matches against players outside the Top 50.

Greek Aims to Recapture His Best Form

Stefanos Tsitsipas' struggles on tour continued as he ended the grass season with just one win from two tournaments. He also recently split with his father and long-time coach, Apostolos Tsitsipas. 

The Greek has played 15 tournaments this season and registered multiple main-draw wins only three times, reaching the fourth round in Madrid, the quarterfinals in Doha, and the third round in Miami. 

This is his second appearance in Gstaad. On his debut two years ago, he reached the semifinals, and he will be hoping to draw confidence from that run as he looks to revive his season.

Rising Star Eyes Another Deep Run

Ignacio Buse recently achieved a career-high ranking of No. 31 after winning the Hamburg title, where he came through seven matches and defeated Flavio Cobolli, Jakub Mensik, and Tommy Paul. 

However, he was unable to build on that success, winning only three matches across his next four tournaments. Earlier this season, he also reached the semifinals in Rio de Janeiro. 

This is Buse's second appearance in Gstaad. On his debut last year, he reached the semifinals, and he returns looking to defend those ranking points.
