Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Jiri Vesely: Preview
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the fifth seed and will be playing at the French Open in 2023 after having a decent run in the ongoing clay court swing. The Greek reached the semi-finals of the Rome Masters, where he was ultimately defeated by the eventual champion, Daniil Medvedev, in straight sets. The score line of the match was 7-5, 7-5.
The 2021 French Open finalist had a forgettable outing in the 2022 edition, as he lost in the fourth round to the then-rising star and present world number 6, Holger Rune, in four sets. The score line of the match was 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. With clay being the 24-year-old’s favorable surface, he would be the man to beat in these conditions.
Jiri Vesely was out of action for most of the 2023 season. He made his first appearance this year at the ATP Challenger event in Ostrava, Czech Republic where he made it to the quarter-finals of the tournament. The 29-year-old had also entered the ATP 250 event in Prague where he lost in the 1st round. It will be an uphill task for Vesely to challenge the world number 5.
As far as head-to-head is concerned, the duo haven’t played in the past and therefore this will be their 1st encounter.
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Jiri Vesely: Prediction
It will be tough for Jiri Vesely to challenge Tsitsipas according to his recent form. Therefore, according to the most recent form and consistency, Tsitsipas is most likely to win the encounter.
Match Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in straight sets.
