Stefanos Tsitsipas still can’t do it at Wimbledon. Facing Emil Ruusuvuori (87th in the world) in the second round this Thursday, the world number 11 lost in 4 sets (7-6 [6]7-6 [10]3-6, 6-3), without ever having managed to really worry his opponent, against whom he had never lost in two confrontations. But there you go, on grass, Tsitsipas is unable to impose himself.
Broken on his second serve, the Greek was nevertheless able to get back into the game (6-6) before cracking, just in time, in the tie-break (7-6). [6]). Accumulating 38 unforced errors during the match, he was unable to escape the trap of the Finn, who had never gone beyond the second round at Wimbledon, and who played an aggressive game. Enough to pocket the second set, once again in the tie-break (7-6). [10]).
Another seed eliminated
Despite a surge in the third set, won 6 games to 3, Tsitsipas ended up cracking in the fourth (7-6 [6]7-6 [10]3-6, 6-3). In seven participations, he has reached the round of 16 only once. He is the 16th seed eliminated at this stage of the competition. For his part, Ruusuvuori has reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. He will face the Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who easily defeated Yoshihito Nishioka this Thursday (6-4, 6-1, 6-2).
