20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas is in the quarter-finals. Federer saw something of his old self in Tsitsipas, a rangy tyro with flowing, blond locks and an unswerving confidence. There was no easing in to the intergenerational battle, with Tsitsipas having a first serve cancelled for twice falling foul of the clock in the opening game. The Greek stared down four set points when serving at 5-4 and finally held with a net-rush and a volley. Federer became concerned as more break points went begging in the third set, and he was soon clinging desperately on serve.
