Tsitsipas beats top seed Anderson at Estoril Open

ESTORIL, Portugal, May 4 (AFP): Greek rising star Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his excellent form on clay by beating Estoril Open top seed Kevin Anderson 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-3 on Thursday to reach the quarter-finals.
The 19-year-old held the big-hitting South African to just four aces in a second-round match which lasted for more than two hours in windy conditions.
World number 44 Tsitsipas beat three top-20 players, including Dominic Thiem, en route to the Barcelona Open final last week. Anderson, ranked eighth, sealed his fate as his first double-fault of the contest brought up two match points, with Tsitsipas quickly wrapping up victory.
