Stefanos Tsitsipas rose up the ranks of the ATP Tour as a member of what was known as the NextGen, destined to take over for the big three of Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer. Jannik Sinner has come up after that NextGen, and is looking to supplant those players as he tries to take out Tsitsipas in the Australian Open quarterfinals. In our men’s tennis predictions from the Australian Open, we look at Sinner vs Tsitsipas from a betting perspective ahead of this massive quarterfinal.

Jannik Sinner vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
Why Bet On the Sinner vs Tsitsipas Over:
✅ Jannik Sinner should be the fresher and healthier player coming into this matchup, but he lacks the experience of having success this deep into major tournaments. As a result, this should be an evenly matched contest, as the fresher player and the more experienced player at this level of competition should end up in a match where both sides have a set or two in them.
✅ Sinner has had an easier go through the draw so far, but he has also been very fortunate to face the draw that he has. He has yet to face an opponent that can dictate pace in a meaningful way, with his seeded opponent in Alex De Minaur being way more suited to absorb pace than to inject it. Against Tsitsipas, Sinner will have to work way harder to control points and we should see four or five sets.

✅ Tsitsipas has shown that he can gut out an extended victory at this tournament, as he has played at least four sets in each of his last three matches. His last victory came in five sets over Taylor Fritz, and Tsitsipas at the very least will not give up and fight this match to four or five sets once again.
Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner has had a near-perfect run through his quarter of the Australian Open so far. He has dropped just one set in four victories, with his latest triumph coming in straight sets against Australian Alex De Minaur in front of a partisan crowd in Melbourne. Ahead of this match, the question is how Sinner responds to facing his first opponent in this tournament who may be able to push him around a bit.
Sinner’s first four matches at this event were against players who either don’t have big offensive weapons or aren’t able to use them consistently. Tsitsipas has both big weapons and the ability to bludgeon his opponents with them on a regular basis. Sinner is more than capable of neutralizing everything that Tsitsipas brings to the table, but it will not be as easy as bossing around De Minaur or the other opponents he has run over so far.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
It has not been a clean run through the Australian Open for Stefanos Tsitsipas, as some injury woes have made his trip to the quarterfinals messier than they needed to be. But Tsitsipas has managed to grind his way through this tournament, reaching the quarters by beating Taylor Fritz in five sets. Here, he comes into a match against a non-big three opponent as an underdog, and will look to defy the odds against his young Italian adversary.
For Tsitsipas, the key to this match will be limiting the number of break chances he concedes to Sinner. The Greek allowed Fritz 15 break point opportunities against him, with Fritz only able to convert on two of those chances. Sinner is far more likely to convert those break points against Tsitsipas, and the underdog will need to be more careful to avoid facing quite as many pressure points if he wants a shot at the semifinals.
