“I said to myself there's no chance this is going to a fifth set,” says world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas after overcoming a surprise challenge from 445th-ranked Jiri Vesely in the French Open. RolandGarros
PARIS, France – Fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was made to work hard for more than three hours to book his spot in the French Open second round with a 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 win over Czech Jiri Vesely on Sunday, May 28.
“Today’s win is a very important for me,” said Tsitsipas, who has not enjoyed his best clay court season. “I felt at times I was not going to the ball, I was staying still. When I took charge that was the moment I made that switch and won the match.” Tsitsipas had initially struggled with the tall left-hander’s awkward spin but was now stretching his opponent with deep cross-court forehands, bagging the second set with another break.
