Tsitsipas hit 36 winners to Carballes Baena\u2019s 15 to secure a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 triumph in one-hour, 59-minute. He will next face Alejandro Tabilo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Carballes Baena broke in the fifth game of the match and then fended off two break points in the 10th game before sealing the opening set.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Spaniard then reclaimed an early break in the second set as he looked to spring an upset. Yet he was unable to maintain his momentum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tsitsipas immediately broke his opponent\u2019s serve for 3-1 and had no troubles holding firm behind his delivery from there en route to levelling the match. From there, he never gave Carballes Baena so much as a sniff of a chance to complete his 100th ATP Masters 1000 main-draw victory and book a second-round meeting with Tabilo, who later downed Nuno Borges 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-3, ATP Tour reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
