In addition to the tournament in Rotterdam, starting from the second round, Stefanos Tsitsipas. After three qualifications in a row to the quarterfinals of the 500th tournament of the Dutch city, Yannick Sinner put a brake on the 24-year-old champion and with a 2:0 set (6:4, 6:3) qualified for “8”, at the same time “avenging” for recent loss in the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open to Tsitsipas.

The Greek tennis player survived his 2nd loss to the 21-year-old Italian in their 7th Tour meeting, the first since 2020 in the “32” Rome Masters. The first fight of the year, Tsitsipas came out victorious in the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open, where the third racket of the world 3-2 (6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6) barely won. -3 ).

This time though Sinner pulled away from a three-set victory over Benjamin Bonzi (6-2, 3-6, 6-1) and Tsitsipas after losing 2-0 to Emil Rusuvuori (7-5, 6-1), the Italian presented himself fresher and took the victory to the next stage, where he will meet Swiss Stanislav Wawrinka.

To conclude, Tsitsipas had perhaps the worst performance of 2023 today and was eliminated from the ABN Amro Tournament very early at world No. 14.

It was only his second loss since the start of the season, following that in the Australian Open final against Novak Djokovic. It took Sinner 82 minutes to take the match, making one break in the first set and twice in the second.
