Tsitsipas battles back to end losing Run in Madrid

Stefanos Tsitsipas came from a set down to beat Patrick Kypson 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 in Madrid.

Tsitsipas lost the opening set 6-3 and was pushed all the way in the next two, needing back-to-back tiebreaks to get over the line.

The result ends a three-match losing streak for the Greek, who had been struggling coming into the tournament. He had lost six of his previous eight matches.

Madrid could be an important turning point. Tsitsipas has a good record on clay and has reached semi-finals and finals on clay before.
