Facing a big challenge is Stefanos Tsitsipaswho today, Sunday (02/06), shortly after 13:30, will face him Matteo Arnaldi in the phase of “16” of Roland Garros to ‘Suzanne-Lenglen’!
The Greek tennis player, who this year has performed exceptionally well on clay courts, culminating in the conquest of Monaco Masters in mid-April, is located for fifth consecutive season in the 4th round of the French Grand Slam.
To get this far this year, the world No. 9 knocked out Hungary in a row, Marton Fucovic (3-0 sets)the German, Daniel Altmaier (3-1 set) and the Chinese Zhizhen Zhang (3-0 sets).
Today, Stefanos will face for the first time in his career the 35-year-old Matteo Arnaldi, who is ranked No.35 in the world. The experienced Italian is anything but an “easy” opponent, after he made a surprise in the third round, knocking out No.6 in the world ranking, Andrei Rublev, with the impressive 3-0 set!
The winner of the pair will face off in the quarter-finals in Paris against the winner of the Canadian clash, Felix Ozier Aliasim (No. 21) and the Spanish No. 3 in the world ranking, Carlos Alcarathwho compete after 15:00.
It is worth noting, however, that this match will not be the only one for Stefanos Tsitsipas today, as, at 18:00, together with his brother Peterthey will face them Molkanov and Smith in Men’s Doubles.
His participation is also up in the air Stefanou with his partner, Paola Bandosa, in the mixed doubles, as heavy rains during yesterday’s days postponed the match with Nathaniel Lamons (USA) and Ema Shibahara (Japan).
