Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has successfully won the second round of the Australian Open.

The 20-year-old beat Serbian Viktor Troicki in a hard-fought four sets, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5.

It is the second time in the promising youngster’s career that he has made it through to the third round of a grand slam.

The win follows Tsitsipas’ impressive performance on Monday against Italian Matteo Berrettini.
