“I felt like I spent an eternity playing on this court,” says world No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas, who gets a chance to fight for a semis spot after outlasting Jannik Sinner in a grueling five-setter. AusOpen AO2023
MELBOURNE, Australia – Stefanos Tsitsipas found another gear when it counted to fend off Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller and reach the Australian Open quarterfinals in a rare win for the high seeds on Sunday, January 22.
“I had an unbelievable opponent on the other side of the court, playing incredible tennis in the third and fourth set,” the world No. 4 added. Korda, who dumped 2021 and 2022 runner-up Daniil Medvedev out in the third round, got off to a shaky start at Rod Laver Arena against Hurkacz but the 29th seed bounced back to take the second and third sets.
Korda’s triumph was an early birthday present for his father Petr, who won his only Grand Slam title at Melbourne Park in 1998. “Just a couple of easy misses and the match has changed quite fast… It was not fatigue,” the downcast redhead told reporters.A misfiring cannon for the first two sets, Sinner turned the match on its head early in the third with a string of spell-binding winners.
Tsitsipas threw one away with a clunky backhand return, then saw the others slip through his fingers as Sinner cancelled them with raw power and an ace.
