In his first game at Cincinnati Masters 1000, that became clear Stefano Tsitsipas He did not fare well after being forced back against the German Struff. Well, in the third round, in what was for him his second match of the tournament, the Greek was forced to pack his bags after losing in three sets against the British Jack Draper (3-6, 6-4,7-5).
Even though the Greek was leading the scoreboard, he saw how Draper turned the tables in a very difficult match that he overcame. 2 hours and 20 minutes of gameplay.
Tsitsipas has not had much of a regular season and comes into the last Grand Slam of the year, the US Open, with many doubts.

As for Draper, No. 28 in the ATP ranking, he is waiting for a rival in the round of 16. His opponent will emerge from the rivalry between Casper Ruud and Auger-Aliassime, So whoever it is, they have to bring out their best version. And if he makes it through, he will likely cross paths with Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. It’s not exactly a bed of roses.
