Our Kimmer Coppejans vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction
The Matchup: Coppejans is winning 74 percent of his first serves and averaging 7.5 aces in the qualifying round of the 2026 Shanghai Masters.
What to Expect: Coppejans seems like an intriguing pick to shield the +4.5-game cushion against Tsitsipas, who has struggled against big servers throughout the season.
Aside from his 3-0 head-to-head record against the Greek, Coppejans has built rhythm coming out of the qualifying rounds. As for Tsitsipas, he only converted 11 of 28 break chances in Tokyo last week. This season, Tsitsipas has only converted 33 percent of break points in hard-court matches.
Tsitsipas remains a strong play to win outright because of his pedigree as a former top-5 player. However, Coppejans’ ability to hold serve and grind out points in long rallies makes this a tricky opening-round match for the Greek.
Fearless Forecast: Stefanos Tsitsipas wins 7-6, 6-3
