World No.6 Stefanos Tsitsipas, on Friday, September 23, defeated Diego Schwartzman in straight sets to give Europe a 2-0 lead in the 2022 edition of the Laver Cup.
Tsitsipas, who crashed out of the US Open 2022 in the first round, defeated Argentina's Schwartzman 6-2, 6-1.
The match at Centre Court turned out to be a one-sided affair as Tsitsipas raced to victory without having to break a sweat.
Tsitsipas broke his opponent’s serve five out of seven times. On the contrary, the German star broke Tsitsipas’s serve only once out of four times.
Earlier in the day, World No.2 Casper Ruud gave Europe a 1-0 lead after beating USA’s Jack Sock in a thrilling three-setter at Centre Court.
