The Stockholm Open quarterfinal matchup between top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and home favourite Mikael Ymer will take place on Friday.
Tsitsipas defeated Maxime Cressy in a close Round of 16 match after receiving a bye in the first round. In order to keep the match to two sets, the Greek player had to defeat the American, who challenged him, three times. Tsitsipas won the closely contested match 7-6(5), 7-6(12) to claim the victory.
In the meantime, the Stockholm Open’s reigning champion Tommy Paul was defeated by World No. 79 Mikael Ymer in the Round of 16 after receiving a special exemption to participate in the competition. Ymer won easily in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. The Swede defeated Quentin Halys in three sets in the opening round. After performing well in the semifinals of the Firenze Open, Ymer is competing in his home nation.
