Stefanos Tsitsipas performed rather ruthlessly against his match with Russian Andrey Rublev but eventually sent him off the tournament and now his next showdown is set against Alex De Minaur for the final of the tournament.
The young Greek star lost his cool in the fourth set and made a return to his seat in complete rage.
He also demolished his headsets which were allowing him to communicate with his coach and also suffered a freak hand injury in doing so. He did receive medical treatment for it.
Tsitsipas lost that set but he still managed to calm him self down and win the match by 4-3, 3-4, 4-0, 2-4 and 4-3. The match ended after two hours and nine minutes.
Tsitsipas after the match said in a media conference, “it was a rollercoaster of a match and I got really frustrated will all the break serves if suffered.”
Tsitsipas who is the top seed of the tournament was awarded the title of “ATP Most Improved Player of the Year” on Friday night. Now he is set to face off the other finalist of the tournament; Alex De Minaur who defeated his Spanish opponent Jaume Munar.
Alex De Minaur won his semifinals match by 3-4, 4-1, 4-1, 3-4 and 4-2.
19 years old Alex De Minaur started off as the world rank 208 but has now reached a career high of 31 in past one month.
This is going to be the second meeting of Tsitsipas and De Minaur after they met each other at the Japan Open Tennis Championships in a three sets match.
