Hamburg is obviously out of its feet, Stefanos Tsitsipas has arrived in Paris. After the Greek had to contest the full program two days after his final defeat at Rothenbaum against Jaume Munar, the game against Pablo Cuevas was much more relaxed from the Greek's point of view. It took Tsitsipas less than an hour and a half to walk 6: 1, 6: 4 and 6: 2 as the winner from the Philippe-Chatrier court.
The next task could be more exciting again. Tsitsipas will face Aljaz Bedene, to whom he lost in Rotterdam earlier this year. However, in the hall and not in the best-of-five mode. Against Cuevas, whom Tsitsipas had only beaten last week in Hamburg, the reigning ATp world champion only had to shake himself briefly at the beginning of the second set: the veteran from Uruguay managed a rebreak. Otherwise, the pace that Tsitsipas offered for almost the entire season was too high for Cuevas.
Pablo Carreno Busta was also in a hurry, beating Guido Pella 6: 3, 6: 2 and 6: 1. Carreno Busta is now facing a purely Spanish duel with Roberto Bautista Agut.
And the surprise of the day also came from a man from Spain: Roberto Carballes Baena converted his first match ball against Denis Shapovalov after exactly five hours of play.
Here is the single tableau at the French Open
