He will face a great opponent Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 3rd round of the Madrid tournament. The reason for him Dominic Thiem, who will cross his racket with the Greek champion on 21:00 at court Manolo Santana.
The Austrian tennis player has slumped to No. 93 world ranking, mercy and depression, which he has now overcome, while he also faced a very serious wrist injury, which set him back a lot, as it took him several months to get back into action.
The game will by no means be easy for the Greek champion, who must by no means underestimate his opponent, since his quality is indisputable.
In the previous games between them, Tim has a small lead against ‘Steph’ as he has five wins in eight games to Tsitsipas’ three. The greatest victory of the Greek champion against the Austrian was in ATP Finals 2019, when he won the trophy of the best player of the year.
The world No. 5 has been in great form of late and is looking to repeat the run he had last week at the Barcelona tournament, where he reached the final of the event.
It should be noted that the winner will face that of the couple Baez-Giron.
Immediately after the end of the match above, the court will pass Maria Sakkari to contend with Rebecca Marasova. The 23-year-old athlete, who has chosen to represent Spain, despite the fact that she was born in Basel, Switzerland, made the surprise against Vekic and qualified for the 3rd round.
The Greek champion must be quite careful, in order not to have the same fate as the Croatian tennis player. Against Rous, Sakkari took it her first win on clay for 2023 and wants to expand them, but also to make a good progress in the organization.
The two tennis players have never met before, and the winner will face the pair in the next round Goff-Bandosa.
