Tsitsipas rolls after another long U.S. Open toilet break

Stefanos Tsitsipas,fired a career-high 27 aces, five more than his previous best, in winning his ATP-best 50th match of the year.

Stefanos Tsitsipas took another trademark long bathroom break then credited it for advancing to the third round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday as a storm lashing New York forced the suspension of an indoor match. The 23-year-old Greek third seed was booed after taking more than eight minutes between the third and fourth sets but dominated after his extended toilet trip to flush Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (4/7), 6-0 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. "I think taking a break and going to change — I was completely wet — I was refreshed," Tsitsipas said when asked about the key to sweeping the final set in 30 minutes.
