Premiere for Tsitsipa at the Rotterdam Open
Stefanos Tsitsipas (World No. 4) makes his debut at the Rotterdam Open today (8/2) and meets Alejandro Davidovic-Fokina (No. 46 in the world) in the first round of the tournament.
Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 4 in the world) will participate in the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam for the fifth consecutive year and take first place in the ATP 500 tournament in the Netherlands.
The leading Greek tennis player will be in the evening (20:30, COSMOTE SPORT 6 HD) Alejandro Davidovic-Fokina (No. 46 in the world) for the 1st round of the indoor tournament and will participate in the 3rd round of the 2022 tournament.
After losing in the semifinals of the Australian Open (Medvedev), the 22-year-old ace will try to get as far as possible in the tournament to get past the problem with his elbow. Stefanos’ father and coach, Apostolos Tsitsipas, will not be in the penalty area, which is only the second time this has happened.
This is the second meeting between the two men, with Tsitsipas exiting victorious from the quarterfinals of the 2021 Monte Carlo Masters, which the Greek tennis player won.
Davidovic-Fokina is 22 years old and ranked 46th in the world, with a career high of 32nd in the ATP (08/21).
Last year, Tsitsipas reached the semi-finals in Rotterdam, where he lost to eventual world champion Andrei Rublev.
The Russian will fight Henry Laaksonen earlier, while Karachev, Khatsanov and Sapovalov will also be thrown in the Battle of Rotterdam.
