Tokyo: Stefanos Tsitipas advanced to the third round of the Olympic men’s tennis tournament on Tuesday because he replied to Wimbledon’s loss last month to make Tiafoe.
Greece’s third sement blew the American Tiafoe 6-3, 6-4 under the roof of the central court at the Ariake Tennis Park, where all playing outside the field was postponed one hour all day of drizzling rain.
Tsitipas, which was also included in a double mixture with Maria Sakkari, will play Ugo Humbert or Miomir Kecmanovic from Serbia for a place in the quarter-finals.
After losing to Tiafoe in the opening round at Wimbledon, Tsitipas made sure there was no recurrent disappointment as a single rest in each set allowed him to complete the victory in 77 minutes.
Naomi Osaka meets 2019 French runner-up Marketeta Vondrousova later Tuesday when Japanese stars step on the Olympic gold after making action back for eight weeks.
Osaka hasn’t played since leaving the Roland Garros campaign lately it might quote the need to preserve his mental health.
He then revealed his battle with depression and anxiety.
The second seed has won four of the six grand slams in a hard court, and is a heavy favorite for a woman’s title after exiting the world number one Ashleigh Barty.
