Stefanos Tsitsipas had to fight his way through the first round of the Olympic clay-court tournament at Roland-Garros. Up against Belgium's Zizou Bergs, ranked 97th in the world, the Greek, world n°12, won in 3 sets (7-6, 1-6, 6-1) after almost 2 hours and a half of battle.
After winning the first set in a tie-break by saving a set point, Tsitsipas was largely dominated in the second. But he raised his game in the third set to win and join Britain's Daniel Evans in the second round.
