Greek tennis sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas won in three sets against Australian A. De Minaur to progress to the quarter finals of the Japan Open.
20 year-old Stefanos kept his nerve after losing the second set (7-5) to win easily the third (6-1).
The Greek champion will play Japan’s K. Nishikori on Friday for a place in the semi-finals of the tournament.
