Stefanos TsitsipasThe 24-year-old representative of Greece, in turn, held his 1/8 finals match the day before yesterday.

Tsitsipas had a difficult match, but still Stefanos was able to beat the young Italian Luca Nardi in two sets – 7:6 (7:2); 7:6 (7:3).

Stefaos Tsitsipas and Hubert Hurkach have already played more than once during their careers. In the last five matches from 2019 to 2021, the Greek won four times, but the last full-time match was left for Hurkach. Also, almost every match was held in three sets.

ForecastIn this match, Stefanos Tsitsipas is considered a small favorite among bookmakers.

However, now Hurkach looks even more interesting, but he spends extra energy on doubles matches. It is certainly worth waiting for another hard struggle here, and therefore we suggest that you bet more than 22.5 games on the total.
