Tsitsipas brothers pull off thrilling comeback in Monte-Carlo Masters

·

Petros and Stefanos Tsitsipas staged a remarkable comeback in their Monte-Carlo Masters debut, overcoming a 1-5 deficit in the second-set tie-break and saving double match points to defeat Americans Christian Harrison and Evan King 4-6, 7-6 (7), 10-8.

This marks the Tsitsipas brothers’ fourth appearance at the Monte-Carlo Masters, and for the fourth consecutive year, they have reached the second round.

In a match full of drama, the Greek duo fought back from the brink of elimination after initially falling behind in the tie-break.

Despite facing double match points at 4-5, the Tsitsipas brothers showed resilience, taking the next point and converting their own second set point to win the tie-break 9-7.

Their strong performance in the second set, where they had numerous break opportunities, made their eventual victory even sweeter. The match then went into a tense match tie-break.

After seeing a 5-3 lead shrink to 7-7, the Tsitsipas brothers regained control, reaching double match points at 9-7. On their second opportunity, they sealed the victory, advancing to the second round.

In the next round, they will face British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, who earlier defeated Marcelo Melo and Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-4.
