What a performance 😱 Roman Safiullin puts on a rampant display to defeat Tsitsipas 6-4 6-4 and reach the semi-finals in Marseille! #O13Provence
The top seed in Marseille, Stefanos Tsitsipas is out of the event after getting beaten by Roman Safiullin in straight sets 6-4 6-4.
A very poor day in the office was made worse for Tsitsipas when he had a terrible fall during the match where he was lucky to escape without injury. Tsitsipas nearly hit his head, hitting his shoulder pretty hard on the concrete surface below. Generally, it was a bad day for Tsitsipas who ran into a very inspired Safiullin today.
The Russian has a very tricky game that is very suited for indoor conditions. A good serve that is capable of doing a lot of damage was on display today as the Russian essentially dropped only a handful of points on his serve. Tsitsipas was not having a very good day serving hitting it at a measly 50 % rate which created a lot of chances for the Russian.
One break a piece in each set was all that Safiullin needed to win this match but he generally frustrated the Greek a lot in this match. He forced 13 break points converting only two of those but those two proved very crucial in a match where he only faced one. Safiullin served 7 aces in total en route to the 6-4 6-4 finish for the major upset win and the semifinal.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
