Match in style, the one I expected in the third duel of the quarterfinals in the ATP Stuttgart. Stefanos Tsitsipas contra Andy Murray. The Greek came from comfortably beating Striker and Murray from beating O’Connell and Bublik. In the previous confrontation there was tension in that victory that Tsitsipas took in five sets at the US Open 2021.
Murray wins a top ten again
From the beginning of the match, a very even duel was seen. Both were solid with the serve and they didn’t have to face many break alternatives. Tsitsipas in the seventh game showed some weakness and after making some mistakes he saw how the Scotsman had a break ball. Stefanos saved her and in this way he could stay ahead on the scoreboard to pass the pressure to the other side.
Andy’s racket ran into trouble just as he was serving to force the tie-break. Andy saw how at 30-40 his rival had a break ball, but the former number one saved it and finally they went to sudden death. In the tie-break Murray took a step forward and 7-4 He took a first set that had been very even and had lasted 58 minutes.
The public was having a great time and the match was meeting expectations. In the second round it was Murray who had the initiative on the scoreboard and he looked more and more comfortable. His varied tennis began to complicate a Tsitsipas who seemed somewhat nervous. It was after 3-2 when Murray got a break that after confirming it made him leave until 5-2. Only one game separated the Scotsman from victory.
The first two match points came to the rest, but Stefanos saved her, although then Murray with his service at the third opportunity to close the match was not going to forgive and in this way he was going to reach the semifinals in Stuttgart, taking revenge against Tsitsipas and achieving victory number 105 against an entire top ten.
