The potential opponents and Tsitsipas’ way to the final of the Australian Open
Stefanos Tsitsipas has a clear picture of the obstacles he will face leading up to the Australian Open final, with the Greek tennis player looking like the favorite to get there.
Stefanos Tsitsipas secured a place in the fourth round of the Australian Open, making the Greek tennis player the main contender along with the elimination of many favorites to find himself on his own board in the final. In particular, they were left out Rafa Nadal (No.2), Daniil Medvedev (No.8), Alexander Zverev (No.13), Matteo Berretini (No.14) and Casper Rudd (No.3).
Tsitsipas, together with Felix Auxerre Aliasim, are the only representatives of the top ten who remain at the top of the table and are very likely to face each other in the quarterfinals.
That doesn’t mean at all that the world number four’s path to the final will be easy, but the data is in his hands.
His probable path to the final
Stefanos Tsitsipas is sure to meet Yannick Shiner (No. 16) in the fourth round. The Italian is a tennis player who wants attention but Steph has proven he can beat him.
If he qualifies, he will face the winner between Lehetska (73) and Ozer-Aliassim (7). The Canadian is the clear favorite in this pair.
In the quarterfinals everything indicates that against him he will find the one who will survive the duel between Hurkaj and Korda.
As one can easily see, none of the above names scare Stefanos Tsitsipas, unbeaten in both the United Cup and the Australian Open in 2023.
The pairs of “16” on the board of Tsitsipas
- Nishioka (33) – Katsanov (20)
- Hurkaj (11) – Korda (31)
- Tsitsipas (4) – Shiner (16)
