Stefanos Tsitsipas escapes from trouble led by Roberto Carballés, caught from the previous stage and he made his debut in the main draw of the Paris Masters 1,000, although he could not beat the Greek, tenth seed, who reached the second round.
The Athenian is not going through a good phase of the season. Victory in the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000 and the final in Barcelona are his main achievements in 2024.
Tsitsipas came back and won 4-6, 6-3 and 6-3 in two hours and the winner of the clash between the Portuguese Nuno Borges and the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo will face in the next section.
Carballés, who until now has always fallen in the qualifying round of the course’s last Masters 1,000, took the eleventh tennis player in the world to the limit. The Spaniard has never been able to beat Tsitispas, who before Paris always beat Carballés, on the ground, the latest this year, in Barcelona.
In the first match between the two on a hard court, the Greek took a while to get into the match. He reacted after Carballés won the first round.
Tsitsipas is enjoying his seventh appearance at the Paris Masters 1,000. Semifinalist in the last two editions, he continues in the event after winning the duel against Carballés.
