Stefanos Tsitsipas said many times that he loves playing doubles with his brother and soulmate Petros, but this may become too much in Rotterdam. Tsitsipas will side with Petros after he takes on Karen Khachanov on Friday at 1 pm. On Thurday, the world no.6 defeated Hubert Hurkacz 6-4 4-6 7-5 in a physical and mental battle that lasted more than 2 hours. That could take it’s toll.
The Schedule
Tsitsipas was scheduled to play singles at 1 pm against the world no.21 Karen Khachanov. Later in the day, Stefanos will compete in doubles with his brother Petros after 1 match was scheduled in between to hallow the Greek to rest. They will face Henri Kontinen Edouard Roger-Vasselin. Is this too much?
