Tsitsipas: For his 10th tour title

That Stockholm open ends on Sunday afternoon (23.10. 16:30 COSMOTE SPORT 6 HD, LIVE from Sportish) and Stefanos Tsitsipas He’s keen to end his time in Sweden on a high and leave with the trophy.

The final against 19-year-old Dane Holger Rune (No. 27) presents some difficulties given the quality of an up-and-coming opponent, but the Greek tennis player has already shown that he is in very good form and ready to celebrate his tenth personal title.

24-year-old Steph already has nine trophies in his collection at the tripwith one even in the same tournament after also winning in 2018. It’s been four full years since then and a course that keeps him firmly in the top flight of the courts.

Rune is not… a soft nut. In fact, he defeated Tsitsipas in the only encounter between them a few months ago on the Roland Garros clay (7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4). So he’s a force to be reckoned with that can cause problems for the Greek with his punches.

Of course the conditions are different and because the leading Greek showed in Stockholm that he can find the solutions he needs to progress unscathed, he’s going into the big fight as a favourite. A title that must be validated during gameplay.
