Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to the third round of the Mutua Madrid Open with a commanding 6-2, 7-5 victory over No. 8 seed Alexander Bublik on Saturday evening. The result represented a significant turnaround for the Greek player, who has struggled through much of 2026.
Tennis Majors reported that Tsitsipas, now ranked No. 80, delivered one of his strongest performances in months against Bublik. The win followed a demanding first-round match against American Patrick Kypson, which Tsitsipas won 3-6, 7-6(6), 7-6(4) after a closely contested three-set affair.
The Madrid Open continues on the ATP calendar as a key tune-up event before the clay-court swing intensifies. Tsitsipas will face his next opponent in the third round as the tournament progresses.
