19-year-old Holger Rune is having the best season of his career so far. By reaching the quarter-final of his debut French Open Main Draw this year, Rune has announced his entry into the tennis world. He has won ATP-250 Munich Open (Clay) this year and has a win-loss record of 39-26.

After losing to Cameron Norrie in the US Open 2022 third round in straight sets, Rune reached the finals of the ATP-250 Sofia Open, the tournament he played after losing in the Quarter-final against Kazhak World No. 38 Alexander Bublik in the ATP-250 Metz Open. His final loss in Sofia Open was against Swiss World No.62 Marc-Andrea Huesler in a match where he was expected to win. He is looking good in this tournament with revenge over Norrie in Quarter-finals and a thriller against Australian World No.23 Alex de-Minaur in the semi-final.

Tsitsipas is one of the few flag bearers of single-handed backhands which was one of the most artistic aspects of the Swiss legend Roger Federer‘s game. Though tennis experts are pointing out the vulnerable aspects of playing with a single-handed backhand, many still admire it for its raw beauty.

Current World No.5 Tsitsipas has had a mixed year so far. His win-loss ratio is 56-19 and won 2 titles (ATP-1000 Monte Carlo ATP 1000, ATP-250 Mallorca) this season but failed to perform his best in the grand slam tournaments. His best run was at the semi-final at the Australian Open where he lost to Daniil Medvedev in 4 sets. He is looking better during the past month and has won 10 out of the last 12 matches. The last loss was against the World No.7 Novak Djokovic in the ATP-500 Astana Open.

These two have played against each other only once, but that was in a major tournament where the Danish went on to win in 4 sets. This will be their first match after that French Open encounter and the Greek would be looking to get his revenge. Both are playing better tennis after the US Open and this match has all the possibilities to become a thriller.

Prediction: Tsitsipas is to win in 2 tight sets.
