What to Expect: Tsitsipas will produce an impressive straight-set victory over Vacherot. Tsitsipas’ serves have been devastatingly efficient in the past three matches, and it will be his biggest weapon against Vacherot, who has been erratic on hard courts this year.
Vacherot has only converted 36.9 percent of his break chances across 22 main tour hard-court matches this year. Vacherot also has massive serves in his arsenal, but he must deliver his A-game on the serve because Tsitsipas has been attacking serves and creating a ton of break chances in this tournament.
