Stefanos Tsitsipas secures quarterfinals in Rotterdam

Stefanos Tsitispsa played a very complete match to take down Ilya Ivashka in Rotterdam advancing to the quarterfinals of the event.

The top seed had very few issues against Ivashka in Rotterdam besting the Belarussian in two sets and moving on to the quarterfinals. It was a much better display and showing from Tsitsipas compared to his last match against Davidovich Fokina and it's certainly going to be a confidence builder. Tsitsipas played a very good early set dropping only two points on his own serve.

He faced one break point and forced 5 overall but only found a breakthrough late in the match. He won the first set with 6-4 and after that started playing even better. Ivashka collapsed completely in the 2nd set allowing Tsitsipas to cruise to an easy finish. It was 6-1 in the 2nd set as Tsitsipa was clinical converting break points and played extremely well from the baseline.

He was very aggressive on return, attacking every 2nd serve and it worked. Overall a great performance and confidence builder ahead of the quarterfinals.
