US EditionStefanos Tsitsipas Frustrated by Controversial Exit From U.S. Open | Sports-Games
Daniel Altmaier won a rare five-set match using an underarm serve, ending Stefanos Tsitsipas' streak of reaching third rounds in Grand Slams since 2017.
- On Thursday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Daniel Altmaier beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6, 1-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in a second-round upset after more than four hours.
- Tsitsipas's recent results—one win in seven—help explain his struggles after reappointing his father Apostolos Tsitsipas as coach shortly before the US Open, following Goran Ivanisevic's departure.
- Altmaier mixed bold tactics throughout the contest, serve-and-volleying 28 times and deploying several underarm serves as he rallied in the fourth set, saving a match point at 4-5, 30/40 to close out a win.
- The loss means Stefanos Tsitsipas will finish the season without a third-round Grand Slam appearance, the first time since 2017, and soon after, Apostolos Tsitsipas received a coaching code violation.
- Altmaier now advances to the third round and reached the US Open third round for the first time, facing Australian eighth seed Alex de Minaur on Saturday.
