Stefanos Tsitsipas, the world No. 11, shared his thoughts on his win against Matteo Berrettini in the quarter-finals of the Dubai tournament. The match concluded with a score of 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-4. This victory marks Tsitsipas’s first entry into the top four of a tournament since July.
Tsitsipas commented, ‘I’m very happy to advance this far. I know I’ve been playing good tennis to reach this stage, and that makes me smile.’
He added, ‘The match was inconsistent. I performed well in the first set, but my level dropped in the second. I’m not really sure how I ended up winning, because there was a lot of mental struggle during the match.’
