Italy's Jannik Sinner has claimed one of the biggest wins of his career, beating world no 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece to reach the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam Open ATP 500 tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 21-year-old Italian won 6-4, 6-3 against the Greek to end his four-match losing streak against Tsitsipas here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sinner produced a dominating performance on his serve and won the match in one hour and 21 minutes after not facing a single break point against Tsitsipas and won 89 percent of his first serve points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It means a lot obviously. A lot of work behind. I'm very happy. I played some good tennis, very focussed today. Hopefully I can keep it going but for sure, Stef is an incredible player. I have a lot of respect for him. He played incredible tennis this year already," Sinner was quoted by the ATP Tour website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Italian will next meet Stan Wawrinka in Friday's quarterfinals. The Swiss has not dropped a set in two Rotterdam matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
