Tennis news - Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime through to Cincinnati Open quarters

Stefanos Tsitsipas held on to beat Lorenzo Sonego 5-7 6-3 6-4 at the Cincinnati Open round of 16.

The Greek, the tournament’s number two seed, was able to rely on a solid second serve win percentage of 75% as he defeated his 26-year-old Italian opponent. It is his fifth Masters 1000 quarter-final of the season.

"He was going for every single shot and his footwork was close to unbelievable," Tsitsipas told the ATP website.

In the other round of 16 match on the men’s side of the draw, Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated another Italian, Matteo Berrettini.

The Canadian, seeded 12th, built his success on serve, winning 88% of his first serve points and delivering seven aces. By comparison, Berrettini won 64% of points on first serve and managed four aces.
