jättiyllätys! – hurjassa vireessä ollut tennistähti tylysti laulukuoroon madrid openissa

Thiago Monteiro eteni Madrid Openin kolmannelle kierroksellekaadettuaan Stefanos Tsitsipasin

Hurjassa vireessä olleen Stefanos Tsitsipasin matka Madrid Openin tennisturnauksessa päättyi tylysti toisella kierroksella.

Brasilian Thiago Monteiro tarjoili jättiyllätyksen Madrid Openin toisella kierroksella lähettämällä yhden turnauksen ennakkosuosikeista, Kreikan Stefanos Tsitsipasin, tylysti laulukuoroon.

Tsitsipas on ollut tällä kaudella massakentällä todella vahva. Mies voitti pari viikkoa sitten Monte Carlon Masters -turnauksen ja lähti otteluun 10-1 voittosaldolla kauden massakenttien otteluista.

Kovassa vireessä ollut kreikkalainen ei kuitenkaan pystynyt lauantaina vastaamaan Monteiron tuliseen ja tasaisen vahvaan peliin, vaan brasilialainen oli kahdessa erässä pelein 6-4, 6-4 parempi.

– Varmasti yksi urani suurimmista voitoista, Monteiro iloitsi ottelun jälkeen.

– Tiesin, että kyseessä olisi todella vaikea ottelu, ja yritin vain uskoa itseeni koko ajan. Tunsin oloni todella hyväksi tänään kentällä.

– Olen pelannut täällä jo kolme ottelua, joten minulla oli hieman rytmiä ja itseluottamusta, joten taistelin vain loppuun asti ja uskoin, että voin voittaa tämän ottelun, karsintojen kautta tiensä turnaukseen selvittänyt Monteiro kertoi.

Monteiro eteni voiton myötä ensimmäistä kertaa urallaan ATP 1000 -tason turnauksessa kolmannelle kierrokselle. Kolmannella kierroksella brasilialainen saa vastaansa Tšekin Jiri Leheckan.

Mikäli upotus ei näy, näet sen täältä.
