Trending
Tsitsipas secured a hard-fought 6-3, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4) win over Francisco Cerundolo to reach the second round, where Botic van de Zandschulp awaited him. The pair started the match by breaking each other's serve, though they remained steady on their service games after that.
Tsitsipas raced to a 5-0 lead in the eventual tiebreak and held on to the lead to take the set. The two matched each other shot for shot in the second set until the Greek pulled ahead towards the end courtesy of a three-game run to register a 7-6 (3), 7-5 win.
Fils beat Daniel Altmaier 7-6 (5), 6-3 to set up a second-round showdown against Pedro Martinez.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Arthur Fils prediction
Tsitsipas' win over van de Zandschulp kept him in the hunt for an ATP Finals berth. Anything less than a title here will further decrease his odds of qualifying for the same. Fils has bounced back after a disappointing outing in Shanghai, where he didn't win a match despite capturing the title in Tokyo a week before that.
Tsitsipas has a 7-8 record against his fellow top 20 players this year, though he has a 1-5 record against them on hardcourts. Fils, on the other hand, has a 9-6 record against the same opposition and has gone 4-3 against them on hardcourts. He has also won his last four matches against top 20 players.
The young Frenchman claimed his first win over a top-10 player by defeating Tsitsipas in Antwerp last year. That match was also played indoors, and he could run circles around the Greek once again since this match will also be played in similar conditions. As such, Fils will be expected to make it through this clash.
Pick: Arthur Fils to win in three sets.
