Greek fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas has proven to be as durable as the Parthenon at this year's Wimbledon, as he reaches the second week and remains standing after defeating Serbia's Laslo Djere on Saturday.
Despite his intense five-set match against Andy Murray that lasted over two days, Tsitsipas showed no signs of fatigue as he comfortably beat Djere 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-4. This marks Tsitsipas' fifth consecutive day on the court, which began with a grueling five-set match against former U.S. Open champion Dominic Thiem.
His match against Murray, the longest in the tournament so far, lasted nearly five hours. Tsitsipas has spent a total of eight hours and 46 minutes on court and will now enjoy a well-deserved rest day on Sunday.
He will then focus on his fourth-round match against unseeded American Christopher Eubanks, who has been impressive on grass. Tsitsipas, who lost in two previous Grand Slam finals, is determined to win his first Grand Slam title but is not putting excessive pressure on himself. He believes in letting things flow naturally and is taking each match as a step closer to his goal. In his victory over Djere, Tsitsipas secured the first set when Djere double-faulted on set point at 4-5.
Although he was initially broken in the second set, Tsitsipas recovered and won the tiebreak, ultimately showcasing his elegant shot-making skills. Eubanks, known for his powerful serve, poses a significant challenge for Tsitsipas, as he already upset 12th seed Cameron Norrie in a previous match and leads the tournament in aces with 72.
