How Tsitsipas beat Ymer the only time they played on tour – AUSTRALIAN OPEN NEXT

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Mikael Ymer are great friends and they are going to play in the 3rd round of the Australian Open. Stefanos and Mikael have been tennis buddies during the 14 days’ quarantine in Melbourne and therefore they have a rather fresh memory about their tennis.

Even if they know each other forever, Stefanos and Mikael have played only once on the main tour and that was last year in Marseille when the Greek sensation defeated Ymer 6-1 6-3 in the 2^nd round. Stefanos eventually ended up winning that tournament
