Tsitsipas, 24, will be making his sixth main draw appearance in Rotterdam next February.
After suffering first-round losses at the tournament in 2017 and 2019, Tsitsipas made the Rotterdam round-of-16 in 2020.
Tsitsipas' first big Rotterdam run came last year, when he made the semifinal before losing to Andrey Rublev.
This year, Tsitsipas fell just short of winning his first Rotterdam title as he ended runner-up to Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final.
So far, three players have been confirmed for the 2023 Rotterdam edition - Tsitsipas, Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev.
Tsitsipas fell just short of winning Rotterdam this yearIn February, Tsitsipas made his first final of the year in Rotterdam.
In the final, Tsitsipas clashed Auger-Aliassime, who handed him a 6-4 6-2 loss.
After losing his first eight ATP Finals, Auger-Aliassime defeated Tsitsipas to finally win his first ATP title in his ninth final.
After the final was over, Auger-Aliassime described beating Tsitsipas for the Rotterdam title as the happiest day of his career.
“I have a lot of good memories playing here in front of you, so thank you for making it a special week for me that I will remember for the rest of my life. It is the happiest day of my career and hopefully it is the first of many to come," Auger-Aliassime said.
Meanwhile, Tsitsipas showed his class after the Rotterdam final and admitted that Auger-Aliassime's level was good and that he deserved to win the final.
“He played a really good match, producing really good shots and serving well the whole match. I wasn’t able to serve well at all today. He played very well," Tsitsipas said.
The ATP 500 event in Rotterdam usually features a star-studded player field.
It remains to be seen if Tsitsipas can win his first Rotterdam title next year.
