Stefanos Tsitsipas cruises through opening match at French Open

·

Stefanos Tsitsipas has kicked off his 2025 Roland-Garros campaign in confident fashion, defeating Argentina’s Tomás Martín Etcheverry in straight sets on Monday, May 26.

The Greek, seeded No. 20, won 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 on Court 6 to secure his place in the second round.

Etcheverry, a former top-30 player, posed an early challenge, particularly in the tight first set, but Tsitsipas gradually asserted control with a composed and consistent performance. The Greek star found his rhythm as the match progressed, dominating the final two sets.

Tsitsipas, a former finalist in Paris in 2021, has arrived at this year’s tournament with “renewed determination” following what some have described as an “erratic” season. However, he recently captured his third Monte-Carlo Masters title and said he has been working “harder than ever” to rediscover top form.

This opening win provides a much-needed boost in confidence as he looks to push past previous quarterfinal hurdles and make another deep run at the French Open.
