• Tsitsipas: ‘Beating him is the biggest honour I could have’
Stefanos Tsitsipas, looking eerily like a young Roger Federer, reached the ninth final of his young career by beating the game’s most enduring champion 6-3, 6-4 for a place in Sunday’s deciding match in the ATP Tour Finals.
The 17-year age differential between them is the biggest in the 50-year history of the event and a pointer to the power shift in the game. He saved 11 of 12 break points in a match that see-sawed for most of the hour and 36 minutes it held the packed stadium entranced. It was not a classic but nonetheless memorable for its mistakes and missed opportunities.
