Both guys are in good shape, they won one Masters on clay this season, and at Roland Garros they won in three sets in 4 matches out of five. Tsitsipas is more stable on his serve, but, at the same time, Sasha takes well, and in the last match (against Davidovich-Fokin), he made as many as 9 breaks (half of the amount of games won). In an equal battle, a plus handicap or a total of More looks good.
