Tsitsipas Triumphs in Four Sets to Reach Roland Garros Third Round

Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas faced a tougher challenge than expected but managed to defeat German player Daniel Altmaier in four sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6(2)-7, 6-4, advancing to the third round of Roland Garros. Tsitsipas, seeded ninth, cruised through the first two sets but encountered resistance as Altmaier fought back to claim the third set in a tie-break. The Greek now awaits the winner between Lorenzo Sonego and Zhizhen Zhang.

Altmaier displayed remarkable tenacity, giving Tsitsipas a run for his money. Ranked 83rd in the world, Altmaier stayed competitive throughout the match. However, Tsitsipas ultimately prevailed in four sets, narrowly avoiding a fifth-set showdown. The final score of 6-3, 6-4, 6(2)-7, 6-4 reflects Tsitsipas’ initial dominance, capitalizing on Altmaier’s service struggles.

Initially clinical in his play, Tsitsipas faced challenges as Altmaier secured the first break opportunity, albeit squandered by the German. Tsitsipas then suffered a disappointing loss in the tie-break, dominated by his lower-ranked opponent. However, Tsitsipas fought back, breaking Altmaier’s serve to level the score at 4-4 in the fourth set, eventually clinching victory with a 6-4 finish.

Tsitsipas now looks ahead to a potential matchup with Lorenzo “Sonny” Sonego, provided Sonego advances past Zhizhen Zhang, currently ranked 44th.
