Stefanos Tsitsipas is through to the second round of the Japan Open after a comeback win over Tomás Martín Etcheverry 6-4, 3-6, 4-6.
The Greek recorded nine aces and won 87 per cent of his first serves while having his Argentinian opponent on break six times – winning two.
Tsitsipas came into the tournament as a qualifier, having to defeat home countryman Yoshihito Nishioka and Japanese Australian Rinky Hijikata to earn his spot on the main card.
He’ll next face off with Valentin Vacherot of Monaco in the Round of 16.
