GAME, SET AND MATCH! – TSITSIPAS 6-3 6-2 7-5 CARRENO BUSTA. The No.5 seed from Greece serves the match out to love to claim a straight sets win in two hours and seven minutes. He was completely dominant in the first two sets but was made to fight back in the third as Carreno Busta threatened to force a fourth. It wasn’t to be for the Spaniard and Tsitsipas moves into the last eight where he will meet either Medvedev or Garin.
