Statymas: A. Bedene - S. Tsitsipas +18.45

Stefanos Tsitsipas was on the ropes against Hubert Hurkacz at 6:7 0:2 down but found the patience to keep the ball in play a bit longer and finally force tones of erros from the Pole's racquet. This form won’t get the Greek far though as he is struggling with some sort of confidence issues. Moreover, the greek star had to take a MTO for shoulder pain. Aljaz Bedene was, unsurprisingly, the more stable player in his first-round victory against Benoit Paire. While it has gone unnoticed, Bedene has made considerable improvements to his indoor game, capped off with a final run in Metz last season. While it would be a huge upset, it’s not unthinkable to have Bedene beating Tsitsipas here.
