Taylor Fritz and Stefanos Tsitsipas will lock horns in round 4 of the 2024 Australian Open as they both look to continue their respective campaigns in the first Grand Slam of the year. Tsitsipas (7) is slightly ahead of Fritz (12) on the ATP rankings at present and although the Greek has not been in much form lately, it is a good metric to follow in order to get a rough idea of what’s going to ensue in the match.

Taylor Fritz vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas: Match Preview

Taylor Fritz and Stefanos Tsitsipas have had similar campaigns in the 2024 Australian Open so far. They have both been able to win their first three matches but it has not been a completely smooth ride. Tsitsipas, for instance, won his first two matches against Zizou Bergs and Jordan Thompson in four sets after losing the set in both matches. His victory against Luca Van Assche in the third round was a much smoother one, as he won in straight sets. 

Similarly, Taylor Fritz struggled a lot in his first-round match against Facundo Diaz Acosta. The American finally won the 5-set thriller after winning the last two sets. He then went on to defeat Hugo Gaston and Fabian Marozsan in the second and third rounds pretty comfortably.

Taylor Fritz vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas: Prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Taylor Fritz have faced each other a total of four times before. The Greek international won three of those four matches, while Taylor Fritz emerged victorious once. The last time they faced each other was in the 2023 Monte Carlo Masters and it was in that match that the American won. 

However, Tsitsipas still remains the favorite in the matchup. He has a better head-to-head record against Fritz and has also been in great form so far in the tournament. Thus, he is expected to defeat Taylor Fritz in this match after some difficulty. It can easily be a 5-set long match.
