Raonic stopped him again …
As in the first match between them, at the 2020 Australian Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas could not find the answer to Milos Raonic’s terrible serve and finally lost again to the 30-year-old Canadian with 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the Cincinnati semifinals.
Stefanos has played a total of five sets against Raonic and managed to create only one break point opportunity that reached a breaking point in the first set but was unfortunately unsuccessful.
We are talking about 6-5 of the first set when Raonic also served to stay in the set. There, Steph managed to get a “golden” break point and engage the Canadian in a rally, but unfortunately a backhand error by Stefanos ended the point inglorious.
The two tennis players got along as expected in a tie break and after exchanging from a mini break, they went hand in hand to 6-5 with Raonic having set point this time.
After a foot foul, Tsitsipas played with a second serve and lost the point and set, taking a major psychological blow.
Something that appeared early in the second set when his serve began to face more problems.
Raonic, on his first chance at a break, was happy to take it and then Tsitsipas’s mission became almost impossible.
Indeed, Tsitsipas never came close to halftime and it all ended relatively comfortably for the Canadian.
Raonic will play his fourth final of the Masters this Saturday with three defeats, two by Novak Djokovic and one by Rafael Nadal.
