Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Taro Daniel prediction
Tsitsipas has seen a drop in his rankings in 2024. He finished the 2023 season ranked 6th, but currently is out of the top 10. Grass remains his weaker surface. He has only one title on the surface, winning the Mallorca championships in 2022. The Greek has an 8-6 record at Wimbledon, and he had his best result last year, reaching the fourth round, where he lost to Christopher Eubanks.
Taro Daniel is on an 8-14 record in 2024. Barring one tournament the Japanese player has found it difficult to win matches on the tour. His only career title came way back in 2018.
Tsitspas will be the overwhelming favorite in this match. The Greek has the experience of playing in Grand Slam finals and has the power and finesse in his game to overpower his opponent.
