Prediction and Conclusion

Stefanos Tsitsipas lost his spot in the top 10 of the rankings, so this cannot be described as a successful season for the Greek. He has come from a regular participant in the semifinals of ATP tournaments to just occasionally be there. He is one of the favorites to win this year in Antwerp and is a major favorite against Thiago Seyboth Wild. The Brazilian definitely does not lack motive or aggressiveness but is simply not on Tsitsipas’ level. The Greek is under pressure to perform well and will do so by winning this match in straight sets.
