Stefanos Tsitsipas will not play the Noventi Open following his run to the French Open final and a recent family shock. Halle announced that the Greek superstar has pulled out of the tournament due to “personal reasons”.
Tsitsipas recently suffered the loss of his grandmother, learning of the news mere minutes before his epic French Open final against Novak Djokovic.
Due to personal reason, #Tsitsipas has withdrawn from the Singles and Doubles Draw at the #NOVENTIOPEN. He will be replaced by Yannick Hanfmann in the Singles.

Beyond his personal reasons for withdrawing, Tsitsipas is the player on tour with the most matches played to date in 2021.
The Greek has played 48 matches so far already this year, so can also be forgiven for taking time off the tour to rest as well as to spend time with family in this moment.
