Trending
Tsitsipas last competed at the Miami Open, where he received a walkover to the second round due to his seeding. The 26-year-old faced Tseng Chung-hsin and came back from a set down to win 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 and reach the third round.
Here, he was up against Sebastian Korda and the two played out a tight first set, which the American won via a tiebreak. Korda won the second set as well to register a 7-6(4), 6-3 win and eliminate Tsitsipas.
Jordan Thompson has won seven out of 12 matches so far in the 2025 season, with his best performance being reaching the quarterfinals of the Brisbane International. The Aussie entered the Monte-Carlo Masters after a first-round exit at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston despite being seeded sixth.
Thompson faced Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the opening round of the Masters 1000 event and took the lead after taking the first set 6-4. The Aussie then broke twice in the second set to register a 6-4, 6-3 win and book his place in the second round in Monte-Carlo.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Jordan Thompson prediction
Tsitsipas will enter the match as the heavy favorite to win given his quality on clay and impressive record at the Monte-Carlo Masters. The Greek served 109 aces in 21 matches on clay last year and won 73% of points on his first serve.
Tsitsipas is among the best clay-court players in the pair and his baseline game and effectiveness will be very hard for Thompson to cope with. The Aussie won 22 out of 29 points on his first serve during his first-round match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
He also produced 15 winners while hitting 18 unforced errors. Thompson plays from the back of the court and he will have to be aggressive in order to withstand the Greek. The Aussie's net play will also come in handy.
Tsitsipas may not be in the best of form at the moment but given the kind of performances he has produced in Monte-Carlo, he should be able to beat Thompson without much trouble and reach the third round of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Pick: Tsitsipas to win in straight sets
