We had warned that the first round against the Spanish Haume Munar was one of the most difficult matches that could happen to the Greek champion, to that we added the disappointment at the way he lost the title in Hamburg, and the situation did not seem easy for him . Steph.
Indeed, the Greek tennis player found himself with his back to the wall against the young Spaniard as he was 0-2 behind the sets but, with tremendous courage and fighting spirit, turned all situations to achieve a pleasant victory with 4- 6, 2- 6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.
It is a psychological victory that Tsitsipas was looking for so much after the painful defeats he had both against Choric in New York and Rublev in Hamburg, just as in both games he lost the victory by his hands.
Not that he had no problem with his performance against Munar, as for two sets he was not in good shape against an energetic Spaniard who believed in victory from the first point and finally came very close to succeeding.
Fortunately, however, Tsitsipas, shortly before the situation got out of control, managed to recover and cause this great surprise that keeps him in the tournament.
This was Steph’s first time coming back from 0-2 in the Major and we hope she will be the first of many to achieve such a thing in her career!
Stefanos’ relief after his last anxious service game was painted on his face as he faces problems in the spiritual part of the game this year and this is beyond dispute.
Stefanos also had a lot of problems against Munar, especially in the first two sets.
Although he started 3-0 in the first set, he collapsed the next hour on the court, winning just three of the next fifteen matches of the match, with the result that he fell behind 2-0 in sets and needed a immediate climb and a “Golgotha”. to get the victory.
Fortunately, the reaction came from the third set onwards.
It fell very quickly to 2-1 and was followed by two close sets in which, however, it was increasingly reminiscent of last year’s Stefano from the field with a very dominant game from the baseline with “insignia” the stroke of right and much better service.
Despite making 49 effortless mistakes and scoring just two more points than his opponent, Stefanos crossed the finish line after a stressful final game and will now face Pablo Cuevas with his recent dominance in mind. Uruguayan in Hamburg.
