Crowned in 2021 and 2022 in the Principality, Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 12) will play his third final in Monte-Carlo on Sunday. The Greek took out Jannik Sinner (2) in the semi-final on Saturday afternoon.
Stefanos Tsitsipas won 6-4 3-6 6-4 in 2h40′ against the winner of the Australian Open, who suffered his second defeat of the year in 27 matches played. The Greek could well find world No. 1 Novak Djokovic on Sunday, who must face Casper Ruud in the second semi-final.
Jannik Sinner, whose only previous failure of the year had been recorded in the semi-final at Indian Wells against Carlos Alcaraz, seemed to have the match in hand. The Italian thus obtained two double break points at 3-1 in the deciding set, before leading 4-2.
But the Italian collapsed physically, even suffering from cramps at the end of the game. After dismissing 10 consecutive break points, he gave in on the 11th at 4-3. Stefanos Tsitsipas finished with a bang, breaking his last two return games to win the last four games of the match.
