The Greek tennis star confirmed his form and secured an easy victory over Matteo Berrettini, winning 2-0 (6-3, 6-3) in sets to advance to the round of 16 at the Indian Wells tournament. Without facing any significant threat from Berrettini, Tsitsipas claimed three crucial breaks during the match, leading him effortlessly to his second win at Indian Wells. This triumph continues his unbeaten streak over the past month on the tour.
In the first set, Tsitsipas seized his initial break points in the seventh game, taking the lead at 4-3 against Berrettini. He didn’t face much resistance while closing out the set with a decisive 6-3 win.
