Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Stefanos Tsitsipas prediction

Nikoloz Basilashvili continued his strong run of form after beating Adrian Mannarino at the Almaty Open to reach his second tour-level semi-final in the space of a month. The Georgian was always in control, winning 6-3 6-1. Basilashvili, who entered the draw as a qualifier, is yet to drop a set across his five matches at the event. Furthermore, he has won 12 of his last 14 matches overall.

He will play former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas next. The Greek also enjoyed a comfortable quarter-final match, beating James Duckworth in straight sets. It was a dominant performance on serve from Tsitsipas, as he won 92% of his first serve points and conceded zero break point opportunities. He won 6-3 6-4. Tsitsipas, who is back inside the 40 of the world ranking, is seeking his second title of the season.

He leads the head-to-head 3-1. Basilashvili’s recent form cannot be ignored, and he could trouble Tsitsipas with his flat groundstrokes, particularly when targeting the 28-year-old’s backhand. Nevertheless, Tsitsipas possesses greater variety and is serving extremely well.
