PARIS — Stefanos Tsitsipas overcame a “psychological” challenge and lethargic legs to become the first Greek player — man or woman — to reach the fourth round of the French Open in more than 80 years.
The sixth-seeded Tsitsipas saved a set point in the fourth-set tiebreaker of a 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), win over 60th-ranked Filip Krajinovic that lasted two days.
The last Greek player to go this far at Roland Garros was Lazaros Stalios way back in 1936.
The match began on Friday but was suspended at 5-5 in the third set because of darkness.
