Tsitsipas – Humbert 1-2: Great misfortune and an inglorious end for the Greek champion

Great misfortune and an ignominious end for the course of Stefanos Tsitsipas in Tokyo.

Tsitsipas, while he had won the first set and was clearly superior, was injured, stepped out of rhythm, lost to the French Ugo Humbert (2-6, 7-6, 6-2) and was excluded from the continuation of the Tokyo Olympics in the men only division.

Specifically, Stephanos in the last point of the second set saw his foot “stick” on the field and fell down, with severe pain.

However, he gritted his teeth and continued, but obviously affected by his injury, and thus missed the opportunity to claim his first Olympic medal.
