Stefanos Tsitsipas keeps Greece alive with a win over Berrettini

Stefanos Tsitsipas was close to losing this match a couple of times but he rallied each time to ultimately prevail against Berrettini 4-6 7-6(2) 6-4 keeping Greece alive.

The country needs a clean sweep today in all three matches and Tstisipas delivered on the first one. It's unlikely they do it but that didn't stop the Greek player from going all out, even when his tennis was not clicking the way he wanted to. He played an okay first set but certainly not as well as he can. The result of that was Berrettini taking it 6-4.

The second set was very competitive with both players playing well. Neither allowed much on the speedy courts and we didn't see any break points. The tie-break was gearing up to a be a great one but saw Tsitsipas dominate quite comfortably 7-2. The final set opened in a similar manner. Both players dominated on their serve with no break points.

Tsitsipas faced one at 2-3 but held his nerve to make it 3-3. He would receive a break point chance in the next game and take it for the 4-3 lead. That proved crucial and enough to win as he served out the match 6-4 in the final set. Greece now trails 1-2 and needs Papamichail to beat Bronzetti in the next match.
