Tsitsipas Returns after a Modest Grass Swing
Tsitsipas is ranked fifth in the world and would have expected to have done a lot better than he eventually did during the grass swing. Coming into that set of tournaments with a solid showing on clay, the Greek number one finished with four wins and four defeats from the eight matches he played on grass this year with his Wimbledon showing being his best of the lot.
Now he returns to hardcourt tennis where he had made a sterling effort at the start of the season.
At the United Cup, Tsitsipas had won all his four singles matches before continuing his run at the Australian Open where he overcame Jannik Sinner and Karen Khachanov to make the final. It was Novak Djokovic who ended his 10-match winning streak.
What Tsitsipas will now hope for is for a bit of a rhythm to add to his 11-3 win-loss record on hardcourt surfaces for the season. That’s what’s gone missing from his game in recent times and a chance in scene could help him.

Isner Overcomes Hijikata
After having gotten knocked out of the Atlanta Open in the very first round, Isner came back strongly against Rinky Hijiata and won his opener here.
Isner, who was once ranked in the top-10 but has fallen out of the top 100 because of a string of poor performances, needed nearly two hours of court time to overcome his Aussie opponent here.
The American clinched a 6-2, 7-6 (4) win as he saved all but one of the seven break-points he faced in the encounter. He also earned 12 of his own and broke his opponent three times in the process.
After having wrapped up the first set rather easily, Isner went up 2-0 in the second and had a chance to serve out the match at 5-4. He missed that and then missed another break-point in the next game, propelling the set into the tie-breaker.
The American did not have a lot of worries after that as he steamrolled Hijikata to claim his spot in the second round. Things could get a lot tougher for the out-of-form Isner here.
