Has Tsitsipas found his “evil demon” at the US Open – 7th premature elimination

Whatever he has already been to the final of a top competition twice in his 25 years, o Tsitsipas he seems to have found his “evil demon” in his tournament US Openrecording his 7th consecutive early elimination yesterday.

In particular, he has never managed to qualify from the 3rd phase aka the top 32 phase of the American Grand Slam. So, inevitably, he records in this the lowest win-loss percentage in the top 4 meetings, with a score of 6-6.

The first New York Open and entering the board

In 2017, the then-young Stefanos made his debut in US Open but his course stopped at 3rd qualifying round by Nicola Mahut with a 2-1 set.

A year later, he makes his first entry on the main board but “stumbles” on his obstacle Daniel Medvedev in phase of 32 of the tournament, after first he had dominated the Spaniard Roberto with 3-0.

In the two years 2020-21 the best courses in the US Open

The 2019 open finds the then 21-year-old tennis player qualifying for the 1st phase of the institution and to find a “wall” in the Russian Rublev losing 3-1 in sets.

In the next two years the “dream” stopped at 32 of the tournament with the Greek athlete losing the qualification “down to the wire” with 3-2 sets. At one, o Choric against him Tsitsipah and prevailed in the details, making the surprise. A similar situation in 2021, when the -current no.1 in the world- Alcarath overcame the obstacle of Stefanos and made an amazing run to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Inglorious end to the last two events

Last year’s effort stopped at 1st round of the organization by the Colombian Little Galan who took 11 games in a row and wrote the 2-0 in the sets against the -then.4 of the ranking in less than an hour. The final 3-1 naturally came with Tsitsipas managing only a few breaks in the 3rd and 4th set.

This year, he said goodbye early again, to 2nd phaseas he found strong resistance from the only 21-year-old Dominic Stricker with which they were in balance until 2-2. In the 5th set, however, the Swiss tennis player entered strongly with a 6-3, eliminating the Greek athlete from the continuation.

Stefanos continues his course in US Open together with his brother Petros for the double of the competition today (31/8) against the Spanish duo Reyes Varela and Vega Hernandez.
