“What a phenomenal comeback,” Fans on Twitter go berserk as Stefanos Tsitsipas takes a step ahead towards defending his Monte-Carlo Masters title
Stefanos Tsitsipas
In the quarter-finals of the Monte-Carlo Masters 2022, World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas was up against World No. 16 Diego Schwartzman. Circumstances appeared to be difficult for the two players since neither of them was giving the other a chance to thrive. However, eventually, the world No.5 managed to fetch a three sets win over his fierce rival. After leading 6-2, 5-2 and then being down 4-0 in the last set, defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas finally got away with it (6-2, 6-7 [3], 6-4) against Diego Schwartzman.
On a score of 6-2, 5-2, the South American clay expert gave it his all and partially obliterated the opponent with a continuity solution. For a long time, Schwartzman’s forehand over Tsitsipas’ backhand was the decisive hit; the Argentine won by deliberately pushing on the opponent’s weak side, but only came close to a spot in the penultimate Contributory act. Tsitsipas had gradually upped the level, displaying his arsenal of variety and fantastic shots to sensationally counter-reassemble the opponent with a score of 4-0 in the third set. For the player from Greece, it was a triple break in a very short time and a 6-4 final round score.
Fans react to Stefanos Tsitsipas’ spectacular comeback
Despite establishing his control in the first set, Stefanos Tsitsipas was quickly dethroned in the second. However, the 23-year-old performed a remarkable comeback in the third set, going from being 4-0 down in the final set to winning the match with a final score of 6-4 in his favour. Fans were ecstatic to see him make such a great comeback and they shared their delight on Twitter.
