Australian Open: Tsitsipas vs Halys Tennis Prediction & Pick

TennisSection previews the 2023 Australian Open as Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on Quentin Halys in the first round on Monday, January 16, 2023.

Will Stefanos Tsitsipas get the win? Will Quentin Halys pull off the upset? This will be a fascinating one, where we have one of the world’s best taking on an tricky opponent to kick off his campaign down under. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 64 at the 2023 Australian Open?

Stefanos Tsitsipas ended the year off quite nicely after a disappointing drought in the middle of the season, coming up against Quentin Halys is certainly mildly annoying for him considering the level he put on display last week. But I expect Tsitsipas to ultimately take the win considering his history and the fact that he is in form right now. He’s got a very manageable draw compared to other top players, let’s see what he can produce here at the 2023 Australian Open.

Quentin Halys has something to be proud of in his recent performance against Novak Djokovic in Adelaide. Taking him to two tiebreakers is no simple feat, as his big serving was really on full display. Against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Halys could be really dangerous with his big serving and the fact that we don’t know what to expect from Tsitsipas, although he has been far more consistent in Australia than in other tournaments. Let’s see if the Frenchman has a puncher’s chance here at the 2023 Australian Open.

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Quentin Halys have never met before, with this being their first career meeting. Unsurprisingly, this is the pair’s first meeting, and while it would be almost crazy to bet on Halys in this encounter, I think this first round has the potential to provide some drama as the Greek looks to advance to the 2nd round of the 2023 Australian Open.
