Tsitsipas: Difficult draw for Stefanos in Rotterdam

On Friday afternoon (October 2nd) the draw for the very strong ATP 500 tournament took place next week (February 11th – 19th) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in the presence of Stefanos Tsitsipas.

A few days after his presence in Greece and his participation in our national team’s matches for the promotion playoffs in World Group I of the Davis Cup, the 24-year-old tennis player was seeded at No. 1 on the board, at the ABN Amro Open.

And he’ll be on duty early and deep as he makes his debut against the dangerous 23-year-old Finn and world No. 53 Emil Roussuvori.

The really difficult ones only start in the second round, where he has to count on Yannick Sinner (No. 17) and Benjamin Bonzi (No. 42).

No. 8 on the board and No. 15 in the world Pablo Carenio Busta has a possible opponent in the quarterfinals in Stefanos. Stan Wawrinka, Richard Gasquet and Alexander Bublik are in the Spaniard’s bracket.

While in the semi-final phase of the event, the Greek champions will face the winner of the possible big quarter-final between Alexander Zverev and Holger Rune.

At the end of the table defending champion Felix Auxerre Aliasim is in 4th place and has a potential opponent in Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals.

The Canadian has to beat Lorenzo Sonego and David Gofan to reach the institution’s “8” while the Russian has to overcome the obstacles of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Borna Tsoric at the same time.

Andrei Rublev and Hubert Hurkach stand out in the 4th quarter, but Roberto Bautista Agut, Alex de Minor and Grigor Dimitrov also feature.
