Tsitsipas Coming off Monte Carlo Win
Coming into the Monte-Carlo Masters a week ago as the defending champion, Tsitsipas continued his brilliant run at that competition by going on to lift the trophy yet again.
The Greek number one who is aiming to end the season in the top two had to overcome the likes of Fabio Fognini, Diego Schwartzman and Alexander Zverev en route his title victory.
That was his first title of the season, following on, on his sold performance at Australian Open where he made it to the semifinal and a title-decider appearance at Rotterdam where he fell in straight sets to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Tsitsipas now enters a competition he has never won before but has been a two-time finalist – losing in the final to Rafael Nadal both times.
Can he get third time lucky? For that, he will need to kick-start his campaign with a strong showing against the world number 44.

Ivashka Stuns Martinez in Opener
It was expected to be a steamrolling win for Pedro Martinez, who had gone into his opening round encounter against Ivashka at 2/5 odds to move into the second.
Instead, Ivashka spent two hours and 13 minutes on court to grind out a 6-4, 7-6 (4) win over his opponent and seal his berth next to Tsitsipas.
The Belarusian player had come into the tournament on the back of a straight-set loss at the hands of Lorenzo Sonego in Monte Carlo and when he fell 3-1 behind in the first set, it looked like the result would be no different here either.
Instead, Ivashka broke right back and then for the second time in the ninth game before serving out the set.
Saving three set-points in the 10th game of the second set, Ivashka then pushed the set into the tie-breaker which he clinched with relative ease.
Can Ivashka now improve upon his 4-5 record for the season against the world number five?
Tsitsipas v Ivashka Prediction and Tip
Tsitsipas should have no worries in this encounter and an easy, straight-set win looks to be par for the course.
Tip: Tsitsipas to win in straight sets: 1/2 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
