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.
