French Open 2023: Stefanos Tsitsipas got 'wake-up call' in nervy first-round win over Jiri Vesely, says Mats Wilander
Stefanos Tsitsipas got a «wake-up call» in his nervy first-round French Open win over Jiri Vesely, reckoned Eurosport pundit Mats Wilander. The Greek fifth seed looked to be cruising into the second round at two sets up over his unseeded Czech opponent, but lost the third set and was then taken to a tie-break in the fourth, edging it 9-7 to belatedly take his place in the second round. Ad And Tsitsipas, who will next face Roberto Carballes Baena after the Spaniard beat Emilio Nava, was advised by Wilander that he must be clinical in finishing matches if he wants to go far in the tournament.
