Sinner completes epic comeback, Krejcikova wins easy at Australian Open

MELBOURNE :Third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas made short work of Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, winning 6-2 7-6 6-3 to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open on Friday, shortly after organisers defended their schedule after the previous day's late finish.

"Kind of kept things clean and I enjoyed the weather today, what a lovely day for tennis it is today, isn't it?" Sinner was made to work hard after a poor start to his match against Marton Fucsovics, dropping his serve twice and committing 18 unforced errors to lose the opening set, before eventually outlasting Fucsovics 4-6 4-6 6-1 6-2 6-0.

Victory sparked huge cheers for the youngster on Margaret Court Arena, which had witnessed an epic comeback from Andy Murray hours earlier. "At this point there's no need to change the schedule," Tiley, who has had to negotiate delays caused by heat and rain, told the"Today Show" on Channel Nine."We'll always look at it, when we do the debrief - like we do every year.
