Tsitsipas stages comeback against Carballes in Paris Masters opener

·

Although Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 11) found himself losing to Roberto Carballes Baena (No. 55) in his premiere at the Paris Masters tournament on Monday night, he kept his composure and claimed victory 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

At the beginning of the match, the Greek tennis player looked nervous and lost the first set 6-4, but then he made up for it.

In the second set he prevailed comfortably with 6-3, while in the third and last set Tsitsipas was the absolute ruler and with the same score he started his duties at the Paris Master on a positive note.

He is now waiting for the winner of the Borges-Tambilo pair to find out his opponent for the next phase.
