Tsitsipas Suffers Upset Loss⁣ in Japan Open First Round

Image provided by ‍tennis365.net The first round⁢ of the singles at the Kinoshita⁣ Group Japan ‍Open Tennis Championships 2024 (Japan/Tokyo, hard, ATP500) for men’s tennis was held on the 26th, with the fourth seed S. Tsitsipas (Greece) being defeated ‌in the first ‌round by‍ qualifier and world ‍No. 49 ​Andrea Mikkelsen (United States) ⁣in an ‌upset⁤ 6-4, 1-6, 2-6.

Tsitsipas, ranked 12th in the world, is competing in the Japan Open ‌for the ​third time in six years since 2018. Six years ago, he‍ defeated Taro Daniel and Andre de⁢ Minaur (Australia) to reach the ​quarterfinals, but lost in‍ straight sets ⁣to Kei Nishikori in the quarterfinals.

In this match, Tsitsipas broke early‌ in the first set‍ and ‍maintained ⁣his lead, but ​in the ‍second​ set, he only won ‍points on his first serve at⁣ a low rate ‍of 43 percent, and was broken twice to⁣ fall behind at 1-1.

In the ⁣final set, Tsitsipas wanted to ‌regain the initiative, but he was​ broken in the ⁢first game ⁤and⁢ then in ‍the fifth game, and ‍it was all‌ over. He lost the set in⁢ one hour and⁢ 48 minutes.

Mikkelsen, who ⁤won the tournament, has won ⁣three straight matches, including ‍the qualifying round, and⁤ will now face ‍either Timothy Echeverri⁣ (Argentina), ranked 35th in the ‍world, or Caroline O’Connell (Australia), ranked 79th in the world, in the second round.
