Into the last 4 at every clay Masters in 2022! @steftsitsipas gets past home hope Sinner 7-6(5) 6-2 to set up a third consecutive Masters 1000 semi-final clash with Zverev 🤝 #IBI22
Stefanos Tsitsipashad to work really hard to defeat native Jannik Sinner and move on to the Rome semifinals 7-6(5) 6-2.
It was a very interesting match between Stefanos Tsisipas and Jannik Sinner as the first set delivered quite a bit of good tennis. Both had moments of brilliance, both had moments of not so very good tennis but overall the first set proved to be superb. The 2nd set less so as Sinner dropped off a cliff with Tsitsipas finding more and more solutions to his game.
The Greek took an early 3-0 lead as Sinner took time to adjust to the conditions and everything else. After finally doing so, he broke back and made it 3-3. Tsitsipas did not complicate matters and he kept playing well taking a 4-3 lead but failed to break Sinner despite having a break point. In the tiebreak Sinner risked quite a bit and his gamble did not pay off.
Tsitsipa was able to escape with a 7-5 lead. The Greek player also served a bite better than his opponent and that gave him a crucial advantage in close rallies. The 2nd set proved that as Tsitsipas separated himself from his opponent by keeping a high level which Sinner was not able to do. Tsitsipas cruised to a 6-2 finish hitting almost 10 more winners than Sinner a committing 6 errors less.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
