French Open 2023: Stefanos Tsitsipas breezes past Diego Schwartzman to make fourth round in style

Stefanos Tsitsipas breezed past Diego Schwartzman in straight sets 6-2 6-2 6-3 to make the fourth round of the French Open in style.

The Greek was rarely pushed to his limit by the Argentinean, with the comfortable scoreline indicating the ease with which Tsitsipas controlled proceedings on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

Tsitsipas broke early to race into a 3-0 lead in the opener, breaking twice more as he put the pressure on his beleaguered opponent.

Schwartzman did break back at the set beckoned for the fifth seed, but Tsitsipas grabbed the next game and with it the set, 6-2.

The unseeded Argentinean kept things level at 2-2 in the second set, but lost the next four games as Tsitsipas looked to be romping to victory.

He was slowed somewhat in the third, as Schwartzman put up a creditable fight, but the gulf in quality ultimately told as the Greek served out the third set 6-3, and with it the match.

Tsitsipas next faces an unexpected test in the form of Austria’s world No. 118, Sebastian Ofner, who beat Fabio Fognini in five sets.
