and a tight match it was, Tsitsipas took the second set in a tie break and
that last set was a very close affair, both players producing both
brilliant shots as well as some horrific misses but in the end Rafa found a way.
I think its clear that the reign of the top 3 is waning, and Tsitsipas is to the forefront
in leading the challenge.
I had Rafa to win the title but boy was I sweating in those last few games.
Hahaha, I have Tsitsipas so we are in the opposite side cheering.
Nevertheless, that third set was one of the best, they hold serve until Rafa got Stepanos and I said to myself it's now the end.
2nd set I was clapping here at 11 pm local time, I knew Tsitsipas can at least steal one set and he did.
Lost my bet, but was very proud of Stepanos, he nearly got Rafa!!. Next time it might be a different outcome.
I'm finally back after my internet went down for several days but it didn't stop me from watching tennis and see how far Tsitsipas has come. I think the big tournament win has helped give him the confidence he needs to be a more consistent player. Even though he lost he still played a great match. I'm just happy to see him start putting in a more consistent game and lets hope he can continue on with this.
