At the time when “Elpis” freezes Greece, the Stefanos Tsitsipas to warm us up. The Greek tennis player with a huge appearance managed to get a big qualification in the “8” of the Australian Open against Taylor Fritz and even with a reversal from 0-1 and 1-2 sets.
To get the victory, Stefanos needed a match of 3 hours and 23 minutes, reaching the dominance with 3-2 sets (4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4). Tsitsipas in the next round will face him Yannick Sinner.
What makes Tsitsipa even more successful is the fact that he was behind the sets by the American with 2-1. A “key” point is the fact that the Greek tennis player was quite focused on the important points that tilted the match to his side.
“Steph” lost the first and third sets 6-4 and in an identical way: Fritz broke him in the seventh set and defended his serve to reach dominance. Tsitsipas had tied at 1-1 making his first break in the match in the tenth game of the second set, while in the fourth set he managed with a break in the eighth game to escape with 5-3 and take it with 6-3.
His next opponent, 20-year-old Italian Yannick Sinner (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.
