After 3h34 of combat, he was down 2 sets to zero in the first round.
It’s definitely different than my first two games. I felt more relaxed (to take my shots) and more confident this time. “It was a good match, as far as my concern,” Tsitsipas stated shortly after his win.
“The conditions were more pleasant for me, as they were warmer and dryer. The sun continued to shine, that is all I can wish for for the remainder of the tournament. The public is always many, “he smiled, before signing the giant tennis balls of several dozen fans who waited for him at the court’s edge.
The next round will see the winner of the meeting between Hugo Gaston (74th), and Holger Rune (40th), who is waiting for him. Tsitsipas announced that he would like to play in the match, which was scheduled for the evening session. The Greek judge stated that both were very interesting players and did not have a preference in who he would face to make it to the quarterfinals of his sixth Roland-Garros.
