Tsitsipas moves back to St. Petersburg
Tsitsipas, one of seven top ten players who will serve at the Erste Bank Open in the Wiener Stadthalle, has withdrawn from St. Petersburg. The Greek informed on Monday that he was slightly injured. "I had a minor injury in my leg, but I had an MRI and it was checked properly," said the French Open semi-finalist.
On the advice of the doctors, he withdrew his mention of St. Petersburg. "I'm taking a week off and preparing for Vienna." There, then in Paris-Bercy and at the ATP Finals in London, he wants to play. "I am delighted that I have the chance to defend my title there." Tsitsipas had beaten Dominic Thiem in the O2-Arena in last year's final.
