In a partly heated match, the man from Greece won 2: 6, 6: 3 and 6: 4 in the end, he will now meet Alex de Minaur in the round of 16.
Tsitsipas was already with his back to the wall, and after losing the first set, he was also behind with a break in the second set. But then managed the turnaround. "A great comeback, honestly ... I don't even know what happened," said the second seeded. In the end, he played point by point and took the momentum with him.
