Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Jordan Thompson Match Preview

Stefanos Tsitsipas had a great start to the year, reaching his 2nd grand slam final at the Australian Open. After an early exit to Jannik Sinner in Rotterdam, he revealed he had a shoulder injury, and as he expressed in his latest press conference, he has zero expectations for the next two tournaments, saying for the first time in his career, he does not expect to go far. Let’s see how Tsitsipas looks out there against Jordan Thompson as he looks to book a spot in the Round of 32 here at the 2023 Indian Wells Masters.

Jordan Thompson took down a returning Gael Monfils quite easily, not needing to work too hard as the Frenchman made many errors. Ordinarily, it might be tough luck for the Australian as he must take on Stefanos Tsitsipas, however, we know what Tsitsipas has alluded to. Let’s see if Thompson is able to spring a massive surprise to somehow find himself still standing in the 3rd round of the 2023 Indian Wells Masters.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Jordan Thompson Prediction and Pick

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jordan Thompson have met twice before, with Stefanos Tsitsipas leading the head to head 2-0. Fortunately for Tsitsipas, he leads the series 2-0 and if he’s playing the tournament, you’d expect him to be at a level where he is competitive with the field. Although Jordan Thompson may be a tough second-round opponent considering the circumstances, I expect Tsitsipas to get through it and book himself a place in the Round of 32 at the 2023 Indian Wells Masters.
