Stefanos Tsitsipas meets number 118 in the world rankings in the round of 16 at Roland Garros
Stefanos Tsitsipas impressively overcame Diego Schwarzman’s hurdle, now he is facing the duel with Sebastian Ofner. How the world No. 118 got here.
Diego Schwartzman’s hurdle proved too low for Stefanos Tsitsipas, who with a great performance secured his ticket to the Round of 16 at Roland Garros. There the task will be (even) easier for him in terms of numbers, although everything is visible on the field.
As you can see, the encounter with Sebastian Offner follows. The No. 118 in the world rankings has caused surprises in a row and just a few hours earlier beat Fabio Fognini 3-2 sets (5-7, 6-3, 7-5, 1-6, 6-4).
Sebastian Ofner is 27 years old and before the start of the French Open he was 118th in the world rankings – the best performance of his career.
Sebastian Offner started qualifying for Roland Garros and went through three rounds before moving into the main draw. There he defeated Maxime Cressy (3-0 set), Sebastian Korda (3-0 set) and Fabio Fognini (3-2), continuing his impressive run.
By the way, this will be the first date of the two on all levels.
