Dominic Thiem defeats Stefanos Tsitsipas at the beginning of the ATP Finals in 3 sets 7: 6, 4: 6, 6: 3.
In the first set tiebreak, Dominic Thiem (ATP 3) went green and blue angry. “Get scared! Get lost!” favor and finally won the round after 55 minutes.
Thiem’s displeasure had to be understood in that situation, for the Austrian had made a somewhat more sovereign impression on the London court by then. It was Tsitsipas who broke out in a sweat when the score was 1: 1 and 3: 3 and had to defend against 3 breakballs.
Tsitsipas response
The Hadern Thiems continued on the second movement. If he recovered a deficit of 0:30 in the first game, it happened in his second service game: Tsitsipas took the break to make it 2: 1 and then withstood any attack from his opponent – 6: 4.
In the ruling, the tide turned again. Thiem, who had been beaten by the Greek in London in the final a year ago, started off with a fury. He quickly took the service of the world number 6 for the first time, then the fifth game turned out to be the key moment. After more than 10 minutes, Thiem brought his serve to dry after having avoided a chance to break again.
Then the stiff resistance of the 23-year-old Greek was broken. Thiem wins the first group game “London 2020” 7: 6 (5), 4: 6, 6: 3 in 2:17 hours and at least somewhat reciprocated by the final defeat in 2019.
So on
