For the third year in a row, Stefanos Tsitsipas will be in the ’16’ of the Australian Open. Without facing difficulties except for the second set, the 24-year-old tennis player won 3-0 Talon Greekspor (Netherlands, No. 63), 6-2, 7-6(5), 6-3 in 2 hours and 6 minutes.
It was the seventh win in as many matches in 2023 for ‘Steph’, who will challenge for a place in the quarter-finals against Yannick Sinner (Italy, No 16), who eliminated Marton Fucsovics (Hungary, No. 78) with an upset from 0-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0. Against his next opponent, he has four wins in five matches and even eliminated him last year in the “8” of Melbourne.
Tsitsipas took the first set emphatically, winning five different games. The second set saw Griksspor reach a set point, which it fizzled out and eventually prevailed in the tiebreak with two mini-breaks. In the third set the number 4 in the world broke in the fourth game (3-1) and defending his serve reached the victory.
