The toughness and the battle that he offered Stefanos Tsitsipas stopped the Italian Jannik Sinner and they took towards the final of the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 to the Greek, who now aspires to his third success in this competition, the first in 2024, with a victory 6-4, 3-6 and 6-4.

However, beyond the fact that the Italian was not at 100% physically, there was a real break in the party.

The thing is that the Greek was in trouble: he served 1-4 and had a break point against him in the third when he had to face a second serve. The Italian had a chance of a double break.

And the point was played normally… with the detail that the second service had been bad. But no one noticed it like that. Neither the chair umpire nor the linesman… while Sinner went to see the match just after the rally and noticed that it was bad. Although too late.

Thus, Tsitsipas managed to win the survival game.

To make matters worse, Sinner could not hide the ailments. He stopped moving freely as Tsitsipas emerged. The former world No. 3 won the match after two hours and 39 minutes, and will play again for the Monte-Carlo title that he already won in 2021 and 2022.
