The Buenos Aires tennis player Francisco Cerúndolo fell 6-7 (1), 6-4 and 6-2 against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 of Paris and, in this way, there are no Argentines left in the tournament.
Cerúndolo started the match in the best possible way, winning the first set tie-break 7-1.
The Argentine was very solid from the back of the court, he did not give his rival a chance to break and he even had several opportunities to take the lead, but he was only able to do so in the tie-break.
But everything fell apart for Cerúndolo starting in the second set, since the intensity dropped a lot and the Greek reacted in the best way to turn the match around.
In this way, Tsitsipas won the second set 6-4, while in the third it was a monologue to achieve the final 6-2 after 2 hours and 21 minutes of play.
Tsitsipas is looking to end a very weak 2024 in the best possible way and has a good chance to do so in Paris, where he reached the semifinals in 2022 and 2023.
Even if he obtains a good result in Paris, the Greek would have the chance to qualify for the ATP Finals, a tournament played by the eight best of the season.
This victory allowed Tsitsipas to enter the quarterfinals, where he will face the German Alexander Zverev (3rd), who beat the Frenchman Arthur Fils 6-4, 3-6 and 6-3.
This Thursday all the matches corresponding to the round of 16 of the last Masters 1000 of the season were played, where the match that the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (2nd) lost against the Frenchman Ugo Humbert (15th) by 1-6 stood out. 6-3 and 5-7.
