Greek super  star Stefanos Tsitsipas is through to the fourth round of the Australian Open following a straight-sets win over Mikael Ymer.

Tsitsipas beat Ymer  6-4 6-1 6-1.

“I think I showed a good quality of tennis today. Mike is someone that I’ve known for a long time and it’s quite important for me to have battles like this against him and for the next generation of tennis as well,” he said after the match.

“All of us have been working really hard to get where we are today.”

It’s the second time Tsitsipas, 22, has made the fourth round at Melbourne Park after he famously reached the semi-finals back in 2019, where he beat Roger Federer in the fourth round to advance. He will face Matteo Berrettini  on Monday.

Tsitsipas said his match was “certainly different”,  because of the lockdown but said he hoped he can remain in the tournament long enough to see spectators back at Melbourne Park.

“I’m pretty sure if I hold on tight and get some more matches then the crowd will be back, it’s just five days.
