In their last meeting in the round of 16 of the Australian Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas eliminated Yannick Shiner after a thrilling five-set battle.
In Rotterdam, however, the Italian took “revenge” from the Greek tennis player, won comfortably (6-4, 6-3) and checked the ticket for the “16” of the tournament.
The top Greek tennis player appeared tired and did not meet high standards, prematurely saying goodbye to the event, in which he reached the final last year.
The first set was balanced, with both tennis players reaching 4-4 ​​without being threatened. At that point, Shiner was more focused, took the break and “cleaned up” the set 6-4.
Obviously affected, Tsitsipas entered the second set, with Shiner breaking with a love game, while he reached a break point in the third game, which was stopped by the Greek. From there, he was unable to find an answer, with Shiner finishing the game without dropping a point in the final two games.
