And it continues for Stefanos Tsitsipas at the hard court event in Toronto, Canada. The 22-year-old clearly prevailed 6: 1, 6: 4 against the Norwegian Casper Ruud after just 74 minutes of play. It is the second time since 2018 that the Greek was able to play his way through to the last four in the North American metropolis. At that time, Tsitsipas even made it into the final, but there was 2: 6, 6: 7 (4) against Rafael Nadal.

The Athenian pulled away 5-0 in the first round in just a few minutes, making only four unforeseen mistakes in the complete set. The world number three was correspondingly happy in the on-court interview after the game: “It's very nice to see me play at this level. I stayed close to the baseline and took the balls early. That's what I set out to do from the start and it worked perfectly. "

In the semifinals, Tsitsipas surprisingly faces the American Reilly Opelka, who defeated the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who was ten in Canada, in straight sets 6: 3, 7: 6 (1).
