Stefanos Tsitsipas won the Swiss Open in Gstaad on July 19, 2026, defeating Raphael Collignon 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-3 in a final lasting two hours and 17 minutes [1, 2, 3, 4]. The 27-year-old former world number three, ranked 85th at the time, claimed his 13th ATP singles title and his first since March 2025 [1, 2, 3, 4]. Tsitsipas served strongly, hitting four aces without a double fault, winning 21 of 29 second-serve points, and saving two of four break points faced [1, 2, 3, 4].
Raphael Collignon, 24 and ranked 42nd in the world, reached his first ATP final but fell to Tsitsipas despite pushing the match to three sets [2]. Tsitsipas called the final "amazing" and said, "It's been a long time so it does mean a lot to me" [1].
This victory ended a 16-month wait for Tsitsipas to add to his ATP title haul since winning the Dubai Tennis Championships in March 2025 against Felix Auger-Aliassime [1, 2, 3, 4]. The Greek player has six career clay court titles, including three Monte Carlo Masters wins in 2021, 2022, and 2024 [2].
Tsitsipas entered the tournament ranked 85th but is projected to climb to 55th in the world rankings following the win [2]. His Swiss Open triumph is expected to boost his confidence ahead of the US Open, which begins on August 30, 2026 [1, 3, 4].
