Stefanos Tsitsipas wasted emotional injury as he knocked a three-match losing streak on the head with a 3-6, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) comeback victory. on Thursday at the Madrid Masters.
The Greek drew a third-set point penalty for coaching from his ever-present father Apostolos as Tsitsipas on his first clay match this season and took his first victory since March 20.
The World No. 80 who once stood as a top 10 regular defeated American lucky loser Patrick Kypson to reach the second round.
The coaching violation came as Apostolos began speaking to his son from the opponent side of the court, a violation of the on-court rule which allows advice when the player is near to the coaching box.
When he was penalised, Tsitsipas stormed to the chair but was unable to change the ruling.
