Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the most impressive players in 2021. Before Madrid Open, the 5th -class player in the world all went deep in the tournaments they attended. Accordingly, he reached the semi -finals of the Australian Open, the semi -final Rotterdam Open, the Mexican Open final, the quarterfinals of Miami Open and the Barcelona Open final.
Tsitsipas's most dazzling landmarks so far of the season is definitely the Monte Carlo championship. In the final on April 18, the Greek star defeated Andrey Rubleev after 2 quick sets to officially crown.
However, in the latest tournament, Madrid Open, Tsitsipas was eliminated from the second round when suddenly lost to Casper Ruud. The No. 5 player in the world needs to quickly forget this defeat to focus on Rome Masters. His first opponent on Italy will be Marin Cilic – who is ranked 43 in the ATP rankings.
In the past, when he was still at the peak of his form, Cilic was in the top 3 of the world. However, age, performance and injury have caused this player to gradually drop. This season, Cilic's achievements are not really positive when he was eliminated from the first round of Melbourne ATP 250 and Aussie Open. Coming to the ground, everything was not better when the 32 -year -old player had to stop right from the match in Monte Carlo.
At Tokyo in 2017, Cilic has defeated Tsitsipas. However, this is just a story in the past. Currently, the Croatian tennis player is considered hard to overcome the opponent to participate in the third round of Rome Masters.
