Greek third seed makes it through five-setter to continue his relatively untroubled passage to the quarter-finals in Melbourne
Stefanos Tsitsipas has been having rather a nice time this past week. As the high and mighty fell around him at the Australian Open, the third seed sauntered through the draw, dropping not a single set in the first three rounds and spending less time on the court than Andy Murray did in a single match.
With Carlos Alcaraz absent and both Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud knocked out, Tsitsipas is now the highest-ranked men’s player still standing. Novak Djokovic aside, he is also the only one to have made a grand slam final.
