Stefanos Tsitsipas received yet another wildcard to play in the main draw in doubles with his brother Petros in Marseille. The world no.5 competed with Petro in doubles also in Rotterdam and that didn’t seem to be a great move as the Greek sensation looked quite spent from a physical point of view in the semifinal against Andrey Rublev when he lost 6-3 7-6(2).
In Rotterdam, Stefanos and Petros lost in the quarters after they managed to win a match. In Marseille, they will start their run playing against Lloyd Glasspool from the UK and Harri Heliovaara from Finland.
Here the draw.
Petros Tsitsipas and the wildacrads
Unfortunately, Stefanos has been widely accused of nepotism for the wildcards that are assigned to his brother Petros that will play on Monday in the main draw in Marseille against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
