Last night and this morning, Rogers Cup 2021 continued to take place with matches within the third round. This season, because “Big 3” Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are absent, the prominent players of the Next Gen generation become the leading candidate for the championship.
Currently, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas are being highly appreciated at this year's Rogers Cup. In the last 3 days of competition, there was no surprise that happened when these two players had easy victories to write the championship trophy. Latest, they have officially won tickets to the quarterfinals.
The earliest 3rd round is Tsitsipas. In the match last night, the Greek player had a reigning Runner -up of the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Runner -up – Karen Khachanov. After a bad time and was constantly eliminated early in the tournament, Tsitsipas now regained his form and had an impressive performance.
Entering Set 1, Tsitsipas had a favorable start when winning the break-point in game 4 and won 6-3. Set Set 2, everything becomes easier with the world's No. 4 player. Accordingly, he has 2 more break-point to finish the set with a ratio of 6-2 gap. Notably, this victory came right on the 23rd birthday of Tsitsipas.
Meanwhile, Medvedev also has a very easy match in the third round. Encountering the opponent ranked 85th world James Duckworth, the Russian tennis player only takes more than 1 hour to win the final 2-0. The set ratios are 6-2 and 6-4 respectively.
