This week’s defending champion in Rotterdam, Andrey Rublev, has also already cracked the top ten, along with 20-year-old Jannik Sinner and last year’s Miami Open champion Hubert Hurkacz.
As well as a more event playing field, the 23-year-old also admitted he thought there would be more “hype” around tennis.
With a Drive to Survive-style Netflix documentary for tennis currently in the works, with Tsitsipas as one of the players who has signed up to be followed by crews early on in the process, he could be right about the sport attracting a new host of fans.
He added: “I see a lot of hype and evolutions in sense of concept and rebrand of our sport.”
