For the first time in eight years, Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on James Duckworth. Tsitsipas is the seventh seed in this indoor hard court Almaty Open quarter-final with his opponent unseeded. Tsitsipas only lost three games in his last match. Our prediction is he will win this match.

In the last four, the winner will be up against either unseeded Adrian Mannarino or qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is in good form after a recent run to the fourth round of the outdoor hard court Shanghai Masters. That included wins over both Luciano Darderi and Taylor Fritz. His first match in this tournament saw the Greek have to go to a deciding set against Aleksandar Kovacevic, before beating Mikhail Kukushkin 6-1 6-2.

The one previous meeting between these players was in 2018 with Tsitsipas winning in straight sets.

James Duckworth was 34 places below Tsitsipas in the most recent rankings. The Australian had lost his last five matches before this tournament got underway. He has shown improved form with a win over Miomir Kecmanovic and then second seed (but poor on this surface) Luciano Darderi. Both were won in straight sets.

This is his first indoor hard court tournament of the year. He's reached one outdoor hard court ATP Tour semi-final this year.

Our Stefanos Tsitsipas vs James Duckworth Prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas has no seeded players standing between him and the final of this ATP 250 tournament. He has been in good form of late with  wins against two top 20 ranked players. He's won one ATP Tour title this year, but that was on clay.

James Duckworth has reached one ATP Tour semi-final this year in an outdoor hard court tournament. He was on a poor run heading into this indoor hard court tournament. This is going to be difficult against an in-form opponent and our Stefanos Tsitsipas v James Duckworth prediction is Stefanos Tsitsipas wins in straight sets.

Prediction :

 

Stefanos Tsitsipas wins in straight sets
