Tsitsipas powers past Tabilo to reach Paris Masters third round

·

Making a very good appearance, Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 11) prevailed with a 2-0 set (6-3, 6-4) against Alejandro Tabilo (No. 22), thus easily qualifying for the “16” of the Paris Masters.

The leading Greek tennis player will face in the next round the 26-year-old Argentine, Francisco Cerundolo, number 29 in the world ranking, who eliminated Andrey Rublev after a tough battle (7-6, 7-6).

In the first set, the Greek champion managed to get into an advantageous position after the break he scored for 5-3, while afterwards he did not feel threatened by Tabilo.

In the second set, Tsitsipas turned up the pace in the final stretch and took the last three games, writing 6-4 and 2-0 in the sets.

Tsitsipas will face Cerundolo on Thursday, October 31 for qualification to the quarterfinals.
