The first set started in the worst possible way for Tsitsipas, with his opponent going into the match with a break, before going 2-0 up, without losing a single point on his serve! In fact, Umber came close to a second break in a row, but Stefanos found an answer to two break points, finally reducing 2-1. However, the Frenchman made no mistakes on his serve, staying in front at 5-3, before Tsitsipas cut to 5-4 and came within four breaths of the break, but eventually lost 6-4 and trailed by 1. -0 in sets.
Tsitsipas then regained his composure, improving his game to take the court and take a 3-1 lead thanks to a break in the 4th game. He then didn’t drop a single point on his serve, eventually reaching a comfortable 6-3 and 1-1 in the sets.
At the start of the third and deciding set, Tsitsipas lost his rhythm, allowing his opponent to make another break and lead first 3-0 and then 4-1. At that point in the match, Stefanos found the answers to Uber’s game and took three consecutive games, tying the game at 4-4, with the two going hand-in-hand in the score, until the tie break.
