His journey Stefanou Tsitsipas in the Wimbledoncontinues today!
After a sensational match that started on Tuesday (05/07) and ended yesterday Wednesday due to rain, the Greek tennis player prevailed with difficulty 3-2 sets (6-3, 6-7, 2-6, 7-6, 6-7) of Dominic Thiem, taking the qualification to the 2nd round of the British Grand Slam.
There awaits him the… pride of the British and the second most successful tennis player of this year’s table, Andy Murray. The two will face off in a ‘titan battle’ that will take place on London’s Center Court at 19:00, in a showdown with which the curtain will fall on today’s program. The game will be televised by Novasports 1.
The 36-year-old Scottish tennis player may be at No.40 of the world situation, having lost a significant part of the glamor he had in the past, after suffering in recent years with injuries, however, he does not cease to be an elite player, with vast experience and excellent quality. In the first round, he easily advanced over Britain’s Ryan Penniston, winning 3-0 set (6-3, 6-0, 6-1).
Stefanos and Murray have just met twice in the past, with both tennis players counting from one victory. The Greek champion had prevailed 3-2 sets in August 2021 at the USA Open, with the Briton responding a year later at the Stuttgart tournament (2-0 sets).
Whoever wins tonight’s match will face the winner of the Ben Shelton-Maxim Creasy pair in the “32” of the competition.
