Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Matteo Berrettini: Match Preview

Stefanos Tsitsipas is not a stranger to the Melbourne court. Having reached the semi-final in 2019 and the final in the last season, he is ready to clutch the trophy this year. But his performance since that final has been below average.

The Greek managed to reach just one final in the ATP 250 last year. This year, he started off the game pretty underwhelmingly by losing two of three singles matches at the United Cup last week.

On the other hand, Matteo Berrettini is known for his dominating set of plays as well as his calm demeanor. Berrettini showed glimpses of his promise in July by reaching the Wimbledon round of 16, but he was defeated in four sets by Carlos Alcaraz after winning the first set. 

However, ongoing fitness difficulties have raised doubts about Berrettini’s ability to complete a full comeback.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Matteo Berrettini: Match Prediction

The two players’ head-to-head record indicates strong competition, with Stefanos Tsitsipas winning all four meetings. Both players have big serves and good forehands, but their backhands are considered less deadly.

Furthermore, recent questions regarding their health add an air of uncertainty to the approaching fight. Tsitsipas suffered a back issue late last year, and while it still affects his performance, it appears to be controllable.

Prediction: Tsitsipas to win in 3 sets.
