Francisco Cerundolo vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction & Picks - ATP Monte Carlo Masters

Prediction published on 4/6/26, 5:43 AM  by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 4/13/26 at 3:37 AM in ATP Monte Carlo Masters Picks

On Monday, it's clay-court time in Monte Carlo, where the Monte-Carlo Masters will take place. In action is a player who simply loves this tournament. That player is Stefanos Tsitsipas, who has won this event no less than three times before, scooping the prize in 2021, 2022 and 2024. The Greek player has also made the quarter-finals (or better) in each of the last five seasons, so it's a little surprising to see that he's available at odds of +100 to win this first-round match. 

Sure, the draw hasn't been overly kind to Tsitsipas, who is up against world number 20 Francisco Cerundolo. The Argentine is a very decent clay-court player, but he doesn't have a great record in Monte Carlo, where the super slow conditions perhaps aren't quite to his liking. Cerundolo has also lost each of his previous matches against Tsitsipas, which is another reason as to why I'm betting on a the Greek to succeed here.
