Tsitsipas began his season with a straight-sets loss against Novak Djokovic. He needs a win over Daniil Medvedev in his next group match to keep his semifinal aspirations alive. The Greek got off to a fast start, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the opening set. He didn't let his opponent catch up to him and won the first round.
With the pair dominating on serve in the second set, a tie-break was unavoidable. Medvedev took an early 4-1 lead, but Tsitsipas battled back to put himself on the verge of victory. However, the 24-year-old squandered his three match points as his opponent snatched the set from him to force a decider.
Tsitsipas was on the back foot in the third set, trailing by a break. With Medvedev serving for the match at 5-4, the Greek broke his serve to level the score, and the match quickly went to another tie-break.
He proved too strong for Medvedev in the tie-break, completely dominating him to win the match 6-3, 6-7 (11), 7-6.
