"I could hear the rain, thought it was the crowd" says Tsitsipas after indoor US Open win

It was more or less a rainy day in New York that impacted the schedule in a big way. His match, like several others, were played indoors. For Tsitsipas the rain was a factor in the match especially with how hard it was coming down:

"I could hear [the rain]. At first, I thought it was the crowd, just people talking on the back seats. I just realised it was not the crowd, it was the rain. Just a lot of noise coming from up there... I do have a bed here, so I might have a sleepover here tonight."

Tsitsipas won the first two sets but lost the 3rd in a close tiebreak explaining:

“I had a great start in the first and second set, taking the lead early. Did everything tactically kind of correct. Had gained that momentum from the beginning of both sets. It felt like I was just comfortable, performing at my best. The tie-break was a close, very close battle, in which he prevailed I think [because he had] less unforced errors than me.”

After a toilet break to change his clothes the Greek emerged reenergized smashing Mannarino in the 4th with 6-0 to win the match.
