Stefanos Tsitsipas reaches last 16 at Miami Open

·

Stefanos Tsitsipas has beaten Chilean, Cristian Garin 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 and reached the last 16 of the Miami Open.

Tsitsipas, who hasn’t yet fully recovered from an ongoing shoulder injury, had 12 aces and saved three of four break points in the two-hour match.

“I was waiting for a very long time to get out there and play, it almost felt like a vacation this last week staying in Miami so I am glad got started,” Tsitsipas said after the match.

The match remained on serve until Tsitsipas broke for a 5-3 lead, before going on to grab the first set without facing a single break point.

After being tested in the beginning of the second set, Tsitsipas squandered two break points chances in the opening game of a third set but got the break he would need to win at 4-4.

The next opponent of Tsitsipas is the Russian 14th seed Karen Khachanov.
