Tsitsipas unleashes madness at the US Open

Stefanos Tsitsipas has managed to overcome one of the most curious and difficult limits in his professional career, which was the third round of the US Open. The Greek player had never advanced past this stage, but he has now achieved it, when many had written him off and he had been in a significant crisis for years. Defeating Jiri Lehecka is a remarkable testament to the level he is displaying in New York.

His victory over Fils was not a coincidence, as demonstrated by the way he eliminated a consistently dangerous player like Lehecka on these courts. The Greek had a somewhat hesitant start but quickly recovered, showcasing a level with his one-handed backhand that was far superior to usual, moving with great agility across the court and being dominant with his serve and forehand.

Tsitsipas delivered an outstanding performance and instills fear in his rivals at the US Open

The final result was 2-6 6-1 7-6 (3) 6-1 in favor of a Tsitsipas who is astonishing with his tennis and emotional level at this US Open 2026. He seems to have regained the joy of competition by reuniting with Patrick Mouratoglou, of whom he spoke highly at the end of the match. "He was the first person who believed in me and saw what I could become when I was 15 years old. It’s great to achieve this with him," declared a man thrilled with the support received from the crowd.

He will face the winner of the match between Ben Shelton and Denis Shapovalov in the fourth round of the US Open 2026, which guarantees intense emotions; facing the most in-form local player or another player with a one-handed backhand ensures excitement, regardless of the scenario, and introduces the idea that Stefanos Tsitsipas can capitalize on this positive momentum to overturn all possible predictions in Flushing Meadows.
