Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Alex de Minaur: Match Prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Stefanos is what you call an aggressive baseliner. He is capable of all styles. He has a really strong forehand with a mediocre backhand. He also does struggle to return serves from opponents at times.

De Minaur is nicknamed “Speed-demon” as he is capable of closing the distance between him and the ball very quickly. He also has very powerful first serves which can prove dangerous if he can keep up his game. He also has the home crowd in terms of mental support. However he is up against the world no. 6 and it won’t be easy.

Match Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in straight sets.
