Tsitsipas shocks Sinner to reach Monte Carlo final

Stefanos Tsitsipas, a two-time champion at the Monte-Carlo Masters, showcased his prowess once again as he secured a hard-fought victory over second seed Jannik Sinner to advance to the final.

The 25-year-old Greek displayed composure and resilience after a strong start in the opening set, maintaining his focus despite facing a stirring comeback from Sinner in the second set. Despite Sinner’s efforts to level the match and gain momentum, Tsitsipas remained composed.

Sinner, who had been in exceptional form this year with notable victories, including titles at the Australian Open, Rotterdam, and Miami Open, faced a setback due to an injury on his right leg during the deciding set. Although he continued the match, he was unable to match Tsitsipas’s determination.

Tsitsipas capitalized on the opportunity, winning three consecutive games to clinch the match and secure his spot in the final. This victory holds significance for Tsitsipas, as it ensures his return to the top 10 rankings after a brief drop earlier in the year.

Tsitsipas will await the outcome of the semi-final clash between top seed Novak Djokovic and Norwegian Casper Ruud to determine his opponent in the final showdown.
