Command Analysis

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Current Form
Tsitsipas overcame Alexander Muller in the third round of the Shanghai tournament, winning 6-3, 7-5. In the match against the French player, Stefanos delivered seven aces, converted four break points, and lost just one game on his serve. This victory marked Tsitsipas's 13th win on outdoor hard courts this season against 10 losses.
