The surprises at this year’s US Open man tournament continue, with the latest being World No. 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas’ exit to 21-year-old Swiss Dominic Stricker in the second round of the year’s final Grand Slam.
The Greek lost to No. 128 ranked ATP Stricker 2:3 sets (5:7, 7:6 (2), 7:6 (5), 6:7 (6), 3:6). This is yet another of the main favorites for the trophy gone as two days ago Holger Rune was eliminated at the start.

You won’t find a happier person in New York than this young man. ❤️
