The fact that he is not in the best condition before the upcoming Wimbledon showed once again Stefanos Tsitsipas.
After being eliminated by Gasquet last week in Stuttgart, the Greek champion was beaten hands down by Nicholas Jarry in Halle (0-2 sets) saying goodbye to the tournament.
The urgent need for him to find his rhythm and… raise his level before the big tournament in England, otherwise he will be in danger from very early on.
Once again, a small moment of weakness in the 2nd set highlighted the concentration issues he has at intervals, knowing yet another loss.
Both started the game very strongly and playing very well – mainly behind the serve – the game reached 4-4. At that point, Tsitsipas fought for the break and had it two break points, but finally Jarry made it 5-4. In the 12th game, the Greek champion had double set point, but the Chilean erased it again for 6-6, with the game going to a tie-break.
There, No. 28 was up 9-7 and did it 1-0. In fact, a few seconds earlier he got an impressive and decisive point after a “battle” at the net, making it 8-7.

In the second set, the image of the two tennis players was similar to that of the first. In the 3rd game, Jari had a break point for the 2-1 advantage, without succeeding. The same thing happened in the 9th game, but with the Greek champion holding his serve again. What he failed to do the previous two times, the Chilean did in the 11th game, reaching the 6-5. So he made the most of the opportunity presented to him and, defending his serve, made it 7-5 and 2-0 set, getting the qualification for the next phase.
