Stefanos Tsitsipas powers through into second round at Barcelona Open

·

Stefanos Tsitsipas made a strong start at the Barcelona Open on Tuesday, April 15, defeating American Reilly Opelka 6-2, 6-2 to secure his place in the second round of the ATP 500 tournament at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona.

The Greek No. 3 seed, currently ranked 16th in the world, will next face American Sebastian Korda, who advanced with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Matteo Arnaldi.

Tsitsipas expressed satisfaction with his performance following a disappointing quarter-final exit in Monte-Carlo last week.

“I’m happy with the way I found relief through fighting, particularly in the difficult moments when he was serving,” he told ATP Tour.

“I got a few metres back (on return) and used that space effectively. I felt I was able to return way more returns than initially expected. I kept my cool when I had to, it was a good win.”
