He debuted in the final, threw out Musetti and Tsitsipas qualified for the Barcelona final!

Things did not start in the best way for the Greek champion. Only in the 3rd game, Musetti managed to break and take a 2-1 lead. However, the Greek champion responded immediately, “breaking” his opponent’s serve, for 2-2.

Then, and with the score at 4-3, the Italian tennis player broke again, but Tsitsipas refused to lose the set, broke again for 4-4, while defending his serve for 5-4. In fact, he “broke” his opponent’s serve for the third time in the first set and won the first set, reaching 1-0.

The second set was just as dramatic. Musetti started with a break for 1-0, in a game that lasted for quite some time, while then each man held his serve, with Musetti reaching 3-2. There, Tsitsipas made the break and brought the game to perfect balance.

In fact, in the 11th game he reached match point, but he failed to finish the game. Immediately after, and with the score at 5-5, the Greek champion failed to defend his serve and accepted the break for 6-5, while the Italian reached 7-5, closing the set, for 1-1.

At the start of the third set, Tsitsipas appeared on the court with a clear mind and was excellent. Initially, he made it 1-0, while making the break, he reached 2-0. Then he made one more, taking a four-game stretch to make it 4-0.

Muzzetti broke “Steph’s” serve and took another game for 4-2, but Tsitsipas easily reached 5-2. The Italian made it 5-3, but Tsitsipas defended his serve and reached 6-3 and 2-1 set. Now, he will be chasing the 10th trophy of his career, against one of Alcarath or Evans.

The sets (2-1): 6-4, 5-7, 6-3.
