Tsitsipas vs Vesely Head-to-Head

It’s a first-ever meeting between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jiri Vesely. Vesely prefers a quicker court to the clay, and at a place where Tsitsipas has had so much success combined with Vesely’s current ranking, Tsitsipas will be a very heavy favorite to advance.

Tsitsipas vs Vesely Prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas didn’t have the best clay season lead-up compared to his previous seasons, however, he’s won plenty of matches to prepare him for the French Open and he will be a strong contender for the title. Jiri Vesely won’t have much of a chance in this match, not only will it be played on clay, but Vesely hasn’t played a lot of tennis lately and is nowhere in the condition required to challenge a player such as Tsitsipas at the French Open. I expect the Greek to get a solid start as he looks to advance to the Round of 64 of the 2023 French Open.
