PARIS, June 6 — Stefanos Tsitsipas held off a late challenge from Spanish 12seed Pablo Carreno Busta to advance into the quarter-finals of the French Open with a 6-3 6-2 7-5 victory today.
But a lack of precision in key moments allowed Carreno Busta to threaten a comeback in the third, only for the fifth seed to tighten his grip again and make sure he wasted little time on court Philippe Chatrier. “The fans love it, I love it, I love playing with people, I love attention,” Tsitsipas, who played his previous match in an empty stadium because of the local nine p.m. Covid-induced curfew, said in a courtside interview.
Tsitsipas moved 4-0 ahead in a near-perfect start with Carreno Busta looking unable to find his range.
