"I'm very happy today" - Tsitsipas on reaching maiden grass final in Mallorca

Stefanos Tsitsipas reached his first tour-level final on grass Friday when he overcame Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi 6-4, 6-4 at the Mallorca Championships.

The Greek demonstrated great footwork to dictate on his aggressive forehand, while he held his nerve in the crucial moments, saving all three break points he faced to advance after one hour and 32 minutes. Speaking after the match, Tsitsipas said:

“It was a good match. I am very happy today. I have played a final a week before a Grand Slam before. It was the year I made the final at Roland Garros, in Lyon. It worked out pretty well to have that final and consistency of matches. It is different this time. We are talking about a different surface, so we will see.”

He will face Robero Bautista Augt who advanced to his 20th tour-level final and second on grass with a 7-6(5), 6-2 victory over Swiss qualifier Antoine Bellier.
