'It was a great match' says Tsitsipas about his Miami Open R2 win

Stefanos Tsitsipas entered the Miami Open in good form but he played a player with whom he struggled in the past before.

This time around it was much different as Tsitsipas blasted 18 winners to go along with his strong serving en route to the 6-1 6-4 victory. It took him only 68 minutes but Tsitsipas was very pleased after the match saying:

"It was a great match, especially against a guy that I probably don't have a good record playing against in the past. I started the match very strong, breaking him twice and taking a big lead in the score, and I think the things worked out by themselves after that.”
