Stefanos Tsitsipas is seeded 4th in the US Open and has a tough road ahead of himself. He will meet a qualifier in the first round. In the second round, the Greek will clash with either Italian, Lorenzo Sonego or Australian, Jordan Thompson.

In the 3rd round, Stefanos is most likely to set up a clash with world number 34, Maxime Cressy or in form Japanese, Yoshito Nishioka. The Greek is likely to meet with the Italian star, Matteo Berrettini in the 4th round.

If the world number 5 manages to cross the above hurdles, then he is most likely to play against world number 12, Taylor Fritz or French Open 2022 runner up, Casper Ruud in the quarter finals. The potential semi final fixture for Tsitsipas would be against defending champion, Daniil Medvedev or Wimbledon 2021 finalist, Nick Kyrgios. If everything goes on course for the 24 year old, he can meet either 19 year old, Carlos Alcaraz or 22 time grand slam champion, Rafael Nadal or 2022 Wimbledon Quarter Finalist, Jannik Sinner.
