In a rematch from the first round of Wimbledon, the Greek beat the American Frances Tiafoe in straight sets.
Stefanos Tsitsipas had the golden opportunity to face off against Frances Tiafoe in the second round of the Tokyo Olympics after being upset by the American a month ago at Wimbledon beating him 6-3, 6-4 in one hour and 17 minutes.
He fired 28 winners and 9 aces and saw his full form on display from the word play. After saving an early breakpoint in the first game of the match he went on to hold serve and put pressure on the world number 54.
He earned a breakpoint and broke the following point to take an early 2-0 lead and that break was the only one needed for him to serve out the first set and take it 6-3.
The second set stayed on serve until 1-1 when it was the world number four once again searching for the early break but the Hyattsville, MD native saved it and was able to hold serve.
At 2-2, the number three seed kept pushing and earned two more chances to break and this time was able to make the breakthrough. The Greek had a chance to go up a double break at 4-2 but again was denied by the American.
The world number four would serve it out to set up a third-round match with either Miomir Kecmanovic or Ugo Humbert.
