Stefanos Tsitsipas still has every chance of winning two ATP Masters 1000 clay court events in a row. The Greek, who defended his title in Monte Carlo in April, is in the quarterfinals of the combined tournament in Madrid. Tsitsipas defeated Grigor Dimitrov 6: 3, 6: 4 in the round of 16 and is only in the last eight for the second time in his young career in the Spanish capital.
