With the same currency he paid Stefanos Tsitsipas τον Taylor Fritz. The 23-year-old Greek tennis player, number 4 in the world rankings, after losing the first set 6-4, responded in the same way to his American opponent (No. 22) for the “16” of the Australian Open.
“Steph” this time defended his service in all games and managed to make the break at the most appropriate point, in the tenth game of the match turning 5-4 into 6-4 and tying the game in 1-1 sets.
The winner of the match will face Yannick Sinner in the quarterfinals. The 20-year-old Italian (No. 10) reached the octave for the first time, defeating Alex de Miron 7-6 (3) 6-3 6-4, in two hours and 35 minutes.
The other three pairs of the quarterfinals are “locked”: Gael Monfis (France) -Mateo Beretino (Italy), Rafa Nadal (Spain) -Dennis Sapovalov (Canada) and Daniel Medvedev (Russia) -Ozer Kadias Alias.
1?-1?
