2nd set.

Stefanos won the set after he broke Roger in the 3rd (2-1) and in the 5th (3-2) game. The Swiss tried to stage a comeback breaking in the 4th (2-2) game. Anyhow, Stefanos maintained the focus before winning the set 6-4. Tsitsipas looked to be completely in control of the rallies especially on the baseline.
