Tsitsipas vs Carballes Baena Head-to-Head

Stefanos Tsitsipas leads Roberto Carballes Baena 1-0 in their head-to-head on the ATP Tour. Their one meeting came back in Estoril just over 5 years ago, with Tsitsipas winning in a 3rd set tiebreaker. The Greek has come a long way since then, but Baena will be a tough task on the dirt.

Tsitsipas vs Carballes Baena Prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas didn’t play his best tennis en route to an opening victory over Jiri Vesely, needing four sets and saving a couple of set points to take a very tight fourth set in sealing the win. Roberto Carballes Baena got through a solid first round, but he’ll be the heavy underdog as he takes on fifth-seed Tsitsipas. If he wants to win, he’ll need to see a similar level to that of what we saw from the Greek in his opening round, as well as do a better job than Vesely at exposing that level. I expect this to be a slightly tricky one for Tsitsipas, but for him to still come through and book a spot in the third round of the 2023 French Open.
