World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas landed 39 straight first serves en route to claiming a 3-6 6-1 7-6 comeback win over Dominic Thiem at the Madrid Open, with the Greek crediting his focus and relaxation for his near-perfect serving performance.
The 24-year-old ended with a first serve percentage of 79 per cent, significantly higher than the 57 per cent he managed in his straight sets defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in last week's Barcelona Open final."That's a positive mark for me. I think I just owe it all to fluidity and just being relaxed on my serve... I think it's just pure relaxation and focus."
