Mallorca Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas beats Ilya Ivashka to reach the quarterfinals

World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas made excellent use of his aggressive first-strike game to completely dominate Ilya Ivashka on the serve, winning 85% of the points on the first serve and 78% of the points on the second serve compared to 74% on the first serve and 69% of the points on the second serve won by his Belarusian opponent.

Stefanos Tsitsipas seemed to be at the top of his form on the grass court and did not face a breakpoint throughout the match. The 23-year-old Greek secured a semifinal spot with a straight-set victory over Ilya Ivashka after just one hour and 23 minutes of play. The victory improved his win-loss record against Ilya Ivashka for the season to 3-0, with one win each on clay, hard, and grass court.

In an on-court interview, Stefanos Tsitsipas said, "My service is vital in this kind of court. I think I was managing the situations on my serve very well. I felt a little bit better in the rallies."

He further added, "I felt like after my first serve, I was able to get behind the ball and pick the right spots. It was, I guess, challenging for the opponent to be able to adjust to this. I was doing it very well. I was very dedicated to that. It was perfect for me from start to finish."

Stefanos Tsitsipas will lock horns with Marcos Giron of America in a quarterfinal clash on June 23.
