Tsitsipas has been very successful at the Australian Open. The courts are ideal for his style of play so he has been winning regularly. Stefanos has had no problems in his previous two matches at the tournament. We don’t think Tallon Griekspoor will be able to trouble the favourite either.
Tsitsipas has not lost a single set in 7 of his last 13 matches at the Australian Open. It is likely the Greek will have to put in a solid performance once again. He has no intention of making gifts for his opponents.
Tsitsipas had no trouble overcoming the previous rounds without giving up a single set.
In the first match, Stefanos defeated Quentin Halys (6-3, 6-4, 7-6).
Stef then crushed Rinky Hijikata (6-3, 6-0, 6-2).
In principle, there is nothing surprising. Tsitsipas had shown in early January that he was ready for the season. At the United Cup, he defeated Grigor Dimitrov, David Goffin, Borna Coric and Matteo Berrettini.
Tsitsipas reached the semi-finals in Melbourne three times.
Tsitsipas goes with a streak of nine wins.
Griekspor, meanwhile, reached the third round at the Australian Open for the first time in his career.
Strangely enough, Tallon, too, has not lost a single set so far with two solid wins.
Griekspoor defeated Pavel Kotov (6-3, 7-6, 6-3) in the first round and his compatriot Botic van de Zandschulp (6-4, 6-4, 6-4) in the second.
Remarkably, he only gave up one game on his serve in these matches.
It is also worth noting that Griekspoor won the tournament in Pune in early January.
Griekspoor’s win streak is more modest, but also impressive: five wins in a row.
