Stefanos Tsitsipas v Gregoire Barrere Head to Head
There has been one previous meeting between these two players and it came on the grass courts of Wimbledon in 2018. Tsitsipas had won that in four.

Tsitsipas Returns after Shock Stuttgart Loss
Having gone into his opener at the Stuttgart Open against Richard Gasquet as a 3/10 favourite, you would have expected Stefanos Tsitsipas to come through easily.
Instead, the world number five was sent packing in that very much by the veteran Gasquet, losing in three sets. Gasquet had won that 7-6 (8), 2-6, 7-5 in a match that could have gone either way but showed what Tsitsipas’ problem has been.
While he has done well to maintain his top 10 ranking and being a top-five player for a while, he has also had results like the one he had in Stuttgart last week.
Like he fell in the second round at the Indian Wells Open to Jordan Thompson. And even in Madrid, despite making it to the quarterfinal, he would have expected to do better than to go down to Jan-Lennard Struff in the quarterfinals.
He should be back to his winning ways though like he always does but can he go deep into this?

Barrere Coming off Second Round in Stuttgart
It’s been a reasonably good year for Barrere and has seen him hit his career-best ranking of 55th on the ATP charts. He is currently 58th and a strong run at one of the tournaments in the near future could help him break into the top-50 as well.
Barrere, however, hasn’t done as well on grass as he would have liked.
Coming into this season’s first grass court competition in Stuttgart, Barrere had won just one main draw match on grass in his career before that. That had come in 2019.
He doubled that count at the Stuttgart Open with a straight-set shock win over Oscar Otte but failed to add to that as he fell to a straight-set defeat at the hands of Lorenzo Musetti.
Can he now test Tsitsipas and take advantage of his last week’s early exit?
Tsitsipas v Barrere Prediction and Tip
Tsitsipas shouldn’t have a lot of trouble here and might even come through in straight sets.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Tsitsipas to win in straight sets: 8/11
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 22.5 games in the match: 4/5
