Stefanos Tsitsipas was in high spirits, fist pumping on Wednesday after booking his place in the third round at Roland Garros for the first time.
The sixth seed didn’t have things his own way, but weathered the pressure against Bolivian Hugo Dellien, who was making his Grand Slam championship debut this week, in a 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 7-5 victory over two hours and 49 minutes. He awaits the winner of Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena or Filip Krajinovic of Serbia.

Tsitsipas led slip a 2-0 advantage at the start of the match, but powered through the second and third sets. The 20-year-old then recovered from 2-4 down in the fourth set and finally converted his fourth match point opportunity to improve to a 31-11 record in 2019.
Tsitsipas, who is the third Greek man to reach the third round in Paris, following in the footsteps of Lazaros Stalios in 1936 and Nicky Kalogeropoulos in 1965 and 1967, has picked up two ATP Tour trophies this season at the Open 13 Provence (d. Kukushkin) and at the Milliennium Estoril Open (d. Cuevas).
