One of the best matches in round two of the Australian Open sees 31st seed Stefanos Tsitsipas face unseeded Tomas Machac. Can the 2023 losing finalist avoid a seeding upset? Read our match prediction below.
Italian opposition will be faced in round three. That's either fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti or Lorenzo Sonego.
The Greek player also made it to the semi-finals in Melbourne in 2019, 2021 and 2022. Last year he lost in round one but beat Shintaro Mochizuki in four sets this week.
In 2025 he won the Dubai title but that was his only last eight appearance on this surface last year. He showed some improved form in the United Cup, winning all three of his matches. Tsitsipas then lost in round one in Adelaide.
Tomas Machac has faced Tsitsipas once before and lost in three sets in 2023 indoors in Vienna.
It's been a big year so far for Machac as he won last week's Adelaide International title. His good form continued with a straight sets victory over Grigor Dimitrov in the first round of this Grand Slam.
A first win over Tsitsipas will take Machac into round three here for the third successive year.
His win over Dimitrov made it six wins in a row. We tip him to make it seven.
