Tsitsipas Edges Bautista Agut For Maiden Grass Crown In Mallorca

Spoiler:

World No. 6 claims title on tournament debut at ATP 250 event in Spain
Stefanos Tsitsipas showed few signs of nerves in his maiden ATP Tour grass-court final on Saturday at the Mallorca Championships, where the second seed downed Roberto Bautista Agut to claim his first tour-level title on the surface.

In a topsy-turvy encounter, Tsitsipas was broken when serving for the match at 5-3 in the deciding set, but the Greek held firm to claim a thrilling 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(2) win and clinch the ninth tour-level title of his career. The second seed was clinical with his opportunities at key moments to prevail after two hours and 31 minutes.

“It looks like I’m playing longer matches on grass than I do on clay," joked Tsitsipas in his on-court interview. "This was an incredible fight and an incredible battle. I know it can be difficult for one person to deal with the loss, but I think for tennis it is great that we are able to play at this high level and show our sport [at its limits].”

It is a Tour-leading 40th win of the season for Tsitsipas, who also lifted the trophy at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters in April. As well as Bautista Agut, the Greek moved past Ilya Ivashka, Marcos Giron and Benjamin Bonzi this week to improve his career record on grass to 14-10, and his run in Mallorca also lifts the Greek one spot to No. 5 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings.


Tsitsipas came out firing in the early stages and the Greek’s aggressive play earned him a 4-0 lead as Bautista Agut struggled to settle in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. Although the Spaniard was able to regain his composure to reclaim one break, Tsitsipas found sufficient rhythm on serve to ease to the first set.

Bautista Agut appeared in deep trouble when Tsitsipas’ broke again in the third game of the second set, but the situation appeared to bring freedom to the home favourite. The Spaniard reeled off five games in a row from 1-3, demonstrating the sort of clean hitting that earned him a quarter-final win over World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev on Thursday, to roar back into the contest. Bautista Agut claimed the second set having struck 12 winners to just three from his opponent.

Despite the mid-match barrage from Bautista Agut, Tsitsipas was able to unlock the Spaniard’s delivery again for a 3-1 lead in the deciding set. Although the Greek stuttered when serving for the title at 5-3, he dominated the deciding-set tie-break to extend his ATP Head2Head series lead over the Spaniard to 3-0.

Bautista Agut was bidding for a second title of the year after he claimed the 10th ATP Tour crown of his career in Dubai in February. The Spaniard’s run in his homeland this week improves his record for the 2022 season to 23-8.

“I’d like to congratulate Roberto on your run to the final," said Tsitsipas at the trophy presentation. "You are one of the toughest competitors out there and one of the toughest guys I have played. There is lots of respect from my side for [producing] such premium tennis at such a high intensity and level.

"You’ve done incredible things for our sport, especially against top players, and have proven yourself again and again, so congrats on an amazing week. I’m happy that we had such a good battle in the final”

Tsitsipas, Alcaraz & Ruud To Come Good On Grass?: Stefanos Tsitsipas has not been past the fourth round in four appearances at Wimbledon but the Greek’s maiden grass-court title, clinched with victory against Roberto Bautista Agut in Mallorca on Saturday, suggests the fourth seed is starting to find his feet on the surface.

Third seed Casper Ruud and fifth seed Carlos Alcaraz are both relatively inexperienced at Wimbledon, but a stellar first half of 2022 for both men suggests neither should be discounted for a deep run in London. Roland Garros finalist Ruud chases his maiden Wimbledon win in his first-round clash against Albert Ramos-Vinolas, while Miami and Madrid champion Alcaraz takes to grass for the first time on Tour this year against the dangerous Jan-Lennard Struff.
