Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas achieved yet another
milestone after an impressive outing in the Paris Masters.
The 25-year-old defeated Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinal
of the competition in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
With that win, Tsitsipas became the first player who was born
in 1998 or later to win 300 matches at the highest level of tennis.

The current world number six will be hoping that his recent
form will continue so that he can go all the way and finish the year on a high
after a disappointing few months.
Tsitsipas is now set to face off Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov
in the semifinal of the competition on Saturday.
It will be the eighth time when both players will face off on
the tennis court. In the previous seven meetings, Tsitsipas had a clear edge as
he emerged victorious on six occasions and suffered just a solitary defeat.

The previous meeting between the two took place in the
United Cup Australia earlier this year where the Athens-born came out on top
with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 7-6.
Dimitrov’s only win against his Saturday opponent came way
back in 2020 in Vienna where he secured the triumph with a score of 6-7, 6-4,
6-3.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
- And this is such a shock to WTA?? How many times are they (WTA & ATP) going to keep stepping in their own s*** ???mandoist15-09-2024
