Highlights | Stefanos Tsitsipas - Gilles Simon

Rarely troubled, Tsitsipas – the 2019 Australian Open semi-finalist – raced to a 5-0 lead in the opening set before taking it 6-1.
Simon was first on the board in the second, but again lost five on the spin as Tsitsipas took complete control of the match.
In the third set, an early break for Tsitsipas put him on the brink, and the 22-year-old secured two more breaks to seal the victory.
