Stefanos Tsitsipas kicked off his 2025 US Open campaign in style, defeating France’s Alexandre Miller 3-1 in a commanding first-round performance.
The Greek tennis star showcased flashes of his vintage form, securing a 4-6, 6-0, 6-1, 7-6(5) win in just over two hours to advance to the second round.
Tsitsipas, 27, started the match on the back foot, dropping the first set. However, he quickly regained his composure, delivering a dominant display reminiscent of his career-best years. The next two sets saw the Greek powerhouse overwhelm Miller, ranked world No. 38, with relentless precision. Despite a brief lapse in focus during the fourth set, where Miller mounted a comeback, Tsitsipas stayed composed in critical moments, sealing the match with a tiebreak victory.
