Tsitsipas also realized this and had a good laugh. After his match against Isner, Tsitsipas claimed that he should be in the record books for playing consecutive matches against tall players on the ATP tour. “That is quite crazy. I have played three players that are taller than seven feet in less than four days. So it is turning into a very interesting week so far,” Tsitsipas said.
“Am I going to make it to the record books for playing the tallest players on the ATP consecutive, one after the other? I have to check it out. I don’t think it has ever happened before,” he added.

One thing that Tsitsipas would want to break in this match is Opelka’s serve. Tsitsipas couldn’t get a single break in the match against Isner. He will be working on that as Opelka is a very strong server. Opelka played Diego Schwartzman in the last round and was unbeatable on his serve. Tsitsipas will look to go further ahead in the tournament as his side of the draw has become easier with the exit of Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev, and Matteo Berrettini.
