Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Frances Tiafoe: Head-to-Head

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Frances Tiafoe: Prediction
Frances will come into the tie with a career indoor hardcourt record of 35-33 and is 3-1 on the surface this season while being 35-24 across all surfaces this season. Tsitsipas will take the court with a career indoor hardcourt record of 59-31 and has a 6-2 surface season record. He is 55-16 for the season across all surfaces.
Looking at these numbers, their past performances and recent form coming into the match, Stefanos Tsitsipas looks the favourite but Frances certainly has the potential to defeat the top-seed. But the Greek’s superior form among the two might just take him in the next round.
Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in 3-sets.
