Stefanos Tsitsipas looking to extend family legacy at Olympics

A family legacy. A Greek tradition. An individual breakthrough. Stefanos Tsitsipas is attempting to match his grandfather by winning a gold medal at the Olympics. After being pushed to three sets in his opening match at the Tokyo Games, the fourth-ranked Tsitsipas stepped up his play in a 6-3, 6-4 win over Frances Tiafoe to reach the last 16 on Tuesday. It was a measure for revenge for Tsitsipas, who was beaten in straight sets by the 54th-ranked American in the first round of Wimbledon a month ago. It was also the first match of the Olympic tennis tournament held indoors. With rain falling outside, organizers closed the roof over the Ariake Coliseum. Tsitsipas' grandfather, Sergei Salnikov, was part of the Soviet Union soccer team that won gold at the 1956 Melbourne Games. His mother is Russian and his father is Greek, although Grandpa Sergei also had Greek roots.
