Stefanos Tsitsipas eliminated Francisco Cerundolo in a 2-1 set comeback to reach the Paris Masters quarterfinals.

The Greek tennis star overcame the Argentine Francisco Cerundolo with scores of 6-7 (1), 6-4, 6-2 and will now compete for a semifinal spot against either Alexander Zverev or Hubert Hurkacz.

Three contenders for the men's singles title at the Australian Open, which starts on Sunday:

ALEXANDER ZVEREV (GERMANY)

Ranking: 6

KITZBUHEL - Serbian tennis player Laslo Djere is through to the semi-finals of the Kitzbuhel ATP tournament after defeating Argentine Pedro Cachin 6-4, 6-2 on Thursday.

Djere, who won after 80 minutes of play, is placed 38th in the ATP rankings, while Cachin ranks 54th.

GSTAAD - Serbian tennis player Hamad Medjedovic is through to the third round of the ATP tournament in Gstaad, Switzerland, after defeating Austrian Dominic Thiem 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 on Wednesday.

Medjedovic, who won after two hours and 15 minutes of play, will next face the winner of the all-German tie between Yannick Hanfmann and Daniel Altmaier.

LONDON - Serbian tennis player Laslo Djere is through to the third round at Wimbledon after defeating American Ben Shelton 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 following two hours and 59 minutes of play on Thursday.

The win is the biggest career achievement at Wimbledon for Djere, who will next face the winner of the tie between Briton Andy Murray and Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.

World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas landed 39 straight first serves en route to claiming a 3-6 6-1 7-6(5) comeback win over Dominic Thiem at the Madrid Open, with the Greek crediting his focus and relaxation for his near-perfect serving performance.

Stefanos Tsitsipas reached the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open by defeating Danis Shapovalov 6-3, 6-2 on Thursday.

The second-seeded Greek saved both break points he faced against the Canadian to move to 18-5 for the season.

Champion Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out of the Monte Carlo Masters when he slumped to a 6-2 6-4 defeat against American Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals on Friday.

Greek second seed Tsitsipas, who triumphed at the Monte Carlo Country Club in the last two editions, was never in the mix against Fritz, who reached the last four of a Masters event for the first time.

This means that the two can only meet in the final, it was decided by draw.

This 250 series tournament is played from April 18 to 24, at the same time as the ATP 500 Tournament in Barcelona, however, it does not lag far behind in terms of quality. Belgrade has managed to attract some respectable names, so in addition to the world no.1, Novak Djokovic, Andrej Rublev, the eighth in the world, and Dominic Thiem, the winner of the US Open from 2020, will also perform.
