Washington, August 2: Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to the Citi Open quarterfinals and the in-form top seed was joined by Marin Cilic and Daniil Medvedev.
Tsitsipas was too good for Australian Jordan Thompson, prevailing 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) to book a spot in the last eight on Thursday.
Greek star Tsitsipas saved a set point in the second set as he earned a clash with 10th seed Benoit Paire in Washington.
"It's very pleasing knowing that I can be mature and handle those situations very bravely, so I'm really happy with that," said Tsitsipas.

"I showed character out there. I played heroic tennis, I would say, in those crucial moments. That was very nice to see."
