after a dominant straight sets win over Jiri Lehecka on Tuesday night, but he nearly gave it all away with one errant brain fade in the third set.
To the gasps of the crowd, the ball kid initially made a move towards the ball, but flinched in reflex when he saw Tsitsipas’s sudden outburst. Speaking to reporters when the dust settled after the game, Tsitsipas admitted his embarrassment over the incident. “Of course, it‘s not nice even to hit it back towards the wall. I personally don’t think I hit it too hard.“But it doesn‘t matter. What I did, definitely I’m not happy about that. I shouldn’t have done it.
Luckily for the Greek, he eventually got the third set break and went on to qualify for his fourth semi-final at Melbourne Park in five years as he looks to chase an elusive breakthrough grand slam title.
