Tsitsipas vs Fils Prediction 18 April 2025

Tsitsipas is wrapping up this part of the season with his old coach, and after the French Open, he'll begin working with Goran Ivanisevic. For now, it's the final chapter of Tsitsipas and Dimitris Hatzinikolaou's partnership. Both are eager to rack up more wins, with special focus on the French Open. It's fair to say that their preparation is going well. In Monte Carlo, Tsitsipas reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to the eventual finalist. In Barcelona, the Greek defeated two American players without dropping a set. Currently, Stefanos is in decent form, but he still has room to reach his peak.

The Frenchman showed promise in Monte Carlo until his quarterfinal clash with Carlos Alcaraz. What unfolded was peculiar, as if both players were wielding a racket for the first time. A series of errors resulted in three sets and two and a half hours of subpar tennis, despite the high caliber of the athletes involved. It seems Fils learned from his mistakes, as he displayed a much-improved performance in Barcelona. He faced only one tiebreak and didn't drop a set in the round of 16, dispatching Martinez in just 1 hour and 8 minutes. Fils is physically strong, but occasionally he can falter mentally.
