Wimbledon: Wimbledon: Tsitsipas brothers’ doubles adventure cut short by French teenagers | Tennis News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas and his younger brother Petros were finally able to resume their first-round Wimbledon doubles match on Sunday, which had been interrupted since Friday. However, their hopes of advancing further in the tournament were dashed as they were defeated by French teenagers Arthur Fils and Luca Van Assche, with a final score of 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2.
The Tsitsipas brothers, stranded at one set apiece when play was halted on the fifth day of the championships, had eagerly anticipated the opportunity to continue their match. Unfortunately, their Sunday outing on Court Three proved to be brief and disappointing.
Originally scheduled to resume on Saturday, the match was postponed due to rain after Stefanos Tsitsipas completed his singles match, where he emerged victorious against Serbia’s Laslo Djere, securing a spot in the last 16 of the singles draw.

With their promotion to Court Three for the resumption, the Tsitsipas brothers began the third set positively, taking an early 2-0 lead. Their father and coach, Apostolos Tsitsipas, closely watched their performance from the sidelines.
However, the young French pair, Arthur Fils and Luca Van Assche, quickly turned the tide in their favour, winning six consecutive games to seal the match. Their victory was marked by a jubilant celebration, including a leaping chest bump.
In contrast, the Tsitsipas brothers, undoubtedly disappointed by the outcome, were left with a sense of frustration. Their father, Apostolos, who had been watching their progress, appeared less than pleased with the result.

Although their Wimbledon doubles campaign came to an end sooner than they had hoped, Stefanos Tsitsipas can still focus on his successful singles run in the tournament. As he progresses to the last 16 in singles, the Greek tennis sensation will strive to continue his impressive performance and make his mark on the prestigious grass-court event.
