The World No. 4 was dominant from start to finish on Court Suzanne Lenglen, taking control early in all three sets to ease to a 92-minute victory.
Although World No. 95 Ymer struggled to produce his best on his second third-round appearance in Paris, it was a high-class showing from Tsitsipas. The fourth seed’s groundstrokes were firmly struck yet remained accurate throughout as he broke the Swede’s serve seven times in a one-sided encounter.
“[There were] a lot of good rallies from my side,” said Tsitsipas in his on-court interview. “I have a long history with Mikael, playing in juniors, and we’ve played each other a lot. I would like to congratulate him on his great effort, he had a good run to the third round once more. It was a good game from my side I think, I played really well and topped it off with some really good, patient tennis.”
“I played a bit later in the last two matches,” said Tsitsipas. “There wasn’t much sun, the conditions seemed a bit drier and colder. I saw it differently today compared to the other two days for sure. I felt much more free with my ball, was able to create a little bit more and find angles, and really push a lot with my ball. It helped a lot mentally, being aware of the next shot, having that confidence.”
His opponent in the fourth round in Paris will be Holger Rune or Hugo Gaston.
