After several opportunities for both players, Jarry managed to take the tiebreak 7-6(6).

Undeterred by his loss in the first set, Tsitsipas regrouped and focused on the task at hand in the second set. Once again, Jarry continued his aggressive play, hitting an impressive 20 winners compared to Tsitsipas' 11. The set, too, went into a tiebreak, which Tsitsipas claimed with a score of 7-6(4), leveling the match.

In the third and deciding set, Tsitsipas showed his dominance. Inspired by his earlier tiebreak win, he raised his level of play and broke Jarry's serve early in the set. Maintaining his lead, Tsitsipas closed out the set with a convincing 6-2 victory.

Completing a remarkable comeback, Tsitsipas secured a hard-fought win with a final scoreline of 6-7(6), 7-6(4), 6-2. He now awaits the outcome of the match between the fourth-seeded Borna Coric and the eighth-seeded Ilya Ivashka for his next opponent.
