Who Will Win? Head to Head Breakdown
Felix Auger-Aliassime enters this Second Round meeting as the 1.65 head-to-head favourite on the board, backed by his high-flying world number 4 ranking and 4740 ladder points. However, the Canadian is coming off a last-start defeat on Thu, 6 Aug against TBD, meaning he will be eager to quickly reset his sights.
Tsitsipas, sitting on 980 points with a 23-17 record this year, enters as the 2.25 underdog but comes into this clash on the back of a win over Martin Damm on Wed, 5 Aug. That victory followed a loss against Alex de Minaur on Thu, 30 July. With 14 career titles and a 66% career win rate (391 wins to 202 losses) to his name, Tsitsipas has plenty of big-match experience to draw upon against his higher-ranked opponent.
