LONDON: Stefanos Tsitsipas moved effortlessly into the Wimbledon fourth round on Saturday, just a day after pushing two-time champion Andy Murray closer to possible retirement.
The Greek fifth seed saw off 60th-ranked Laslo Djere of Serbia 6-4, 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 and will face unseeded Christopher Eubanks for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Eubanks, the world number 43 who claimed the Mallorca grass-court title last weekend, defeated Australia’s Christopher O’Connell 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/2) on the back of 23 aces.
Tsitsipas is in the last 16 at the All England for the first time since 2018.
On Friday, Tsitsipas defeated Murray in five sets in a second round tie held over from the night before.
