So, who will win today? Although everyone looks to that first meeting between Tsitsipas and Federer as their most notable battle, the pair have played twice since on smaller stages. Both in Dubai and a few weeks ago at home in Basel, Federer seemed to enjoy how his game matches up with Tsitsipas’s, winning both matches 6-4 6-4 with a break in each set. Both matches were quite routine.
Federer will look to do what he did in those recent matches and also against Djokovic - serve incredibly well, be extremely aggressive behind his serve and look to come into the net. As usual, he will play at an extremely fast pace to match those fast courts. Tsitsipas’ plan will be quite similar, but the big challenge is whether he can match Federer’s serving rate and efficiency.
