Tsitsipas to face Djokovic in Paris Olympics quarterfinal

·

Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 12) was storming in the second set and with a 0-2 (5-7, 1-6) win over Argentine Sebastian Baez (No. 18) qualified for the “8” in men’s singles at the Olympic Games. Next opponent is Novak Djokovic.

Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 12), although he received a break only in the first game, fought against Argentine Sebastian Baez (No. 18) and with 0-2 sets (5-7, 1-6) qualified for the men’s singles quarterfinals, where he will face Novak Djokovic , who comfortably overcame the obstacle of Dominic Kepfer (7-5, 6-3).

Tsitsipas finished the match with 61% passing first serve, winning 89% of the points (32/36) and 26% in the second (6/23), took advantage of 5 of 7 break opportunities, scored 11 winners, while he also had 19 unforced errors.

The Argentinian tennis player broke Tsitsipas’ serve early on, leading 2-0, but Greece‘s tennis player answered immediately and in the 4th game he took back the break, tying the score at 2-2.

Some unforced errors by Stefanos then gave Baez the chance to retake the lead with a break for 3-2.

The top Greek tennis player, however, turned the match around and won the first set 5-7 with four straight games.

The second set started with Tsitsipas storming, making it a formidable 0-5. He allowed his opponent to take just one game, the 6th, as he also won the 2nd set with 1-6 and moved to “8”.
