In both this match as well as the tournament, Tstsipas will be a heavy favorite. Given the top seed’s recent form, Safiullin is highly unlikely to pull off an upset. Tsitsipas has his sights set on a semi-final place after he is set to dominate Safiullin in the quarter-finals. Tsitsipas is expected to bring a strong service game and breeze through the quarter-finals.

Prediction: Tsitsipas to win in two sets.
