Having broken through at the US Open with a gritty four-set win over Jiri Lehecka to reach the fourth round for the first time in his career, Stefanos Tsitsipas now turns his attention to a blockbuster clash against American ninth seed Ben Shelton — a matchup shaping up to be one of the most eagerly anticipated of the tournament.
The Greek star overcame the Czech 18th seed 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(3), 6-1, delivering yet another comeback performance in what has become a signature run through New York.
Tsitsipas and Shelton are set to face off in the early hours of Monday, September 7, with the opening serve expected around 2:00 a.m. Greek time. Tennis fans back home can catch the action live on Eurosport 1.
Whoever emerges victorious will book a spot in the quarterfinals, where a showdown awaits against the winner of the meeting between Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul.
