THE Stefanos Tsitsipas easily qualified for Thomas Martin Etseveri at his premiere at Roland Garros And he will now face Matteo Gigade in the second round of French Grand Slam.
After his 3-0 set victory (7-5, 6-3, 6-4) on Etseveri, Stefanos Tsitsipas will find a tennis player who is even lower in the world rankings, Mateo Tzigade (No167), aiming to qualify for the next round of Roland Garros.
The 23-year-old Italian in turn excluded Lebanese, Benjamin Hassan, in the first round and will find himself against the leading Greek tennis player (No20 in the world) as a big underdog in “Battle”.
