FirstpostTop-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas shrugged off a freak hand injury to reach the Next Gen ATP Finals championship match with a 4-3, 3-4, 4-0, 2-4, 4-3 win over Andrey Rublev Milan: Top-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas shrugged off a freak hand injury to reach the Next Gen ATP Finals championship match with a 4-3, 3-4, 4-0, 2-4, 4-3 win over Andrey Rublev on Friday. Greek world number 15 Tsitsipas needed medical treatment after dropping serve in the fifth game of the decider when he angrily demolished the courtside headset that players use to communicate with their coaches. Tsitsipas, with his pride bruised slightly more than his hand, eventually gathered himself to sweep to victory and move within one match of securing his second career title having captured his first in Stockholm last month. In Saturday’s final, he will face Australian teenager Alex de Minaur after the second seed claimed a 3-4, 4-1, 4-1, 3-4, 4-2 victory over Spain’s Jaume Munar.
