Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas set up a blockbuster Wimbledon third-round clash against Nick Kyrgios on Thursday. Tsitsipas defeated Australia’s Jordan Thompson 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 to make the last 32 for the second time.
Kyrgios earlier pulled off an impressive 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 win over Serbian 26th seed Filip Krajinovic to make the last 32 for the sixth time. Australian star Kyrgios leads Tsitsipas 3-1 including a victory on grass in Halle earlier this month.
“I feel like everyone here knows who Nick is,” said Tsitsipas. “We have had many great matches against each other. I respect him for his game and the way he fights when he wants to.”
