Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Ignacio Buse prediction
Stefanos Tsitsipas’ poor season continued at Roland Garros as he was beaten by Matteo Arnaldi in the second-round. Tsitsipas had levelled the match in the second set, but he faded as the match wore on, with Arnaldi prevailing in four. The two-time Grand Slam finalist has just one quarter-final appearance so far in 2026. The Greek has decided to compete in Mallorca ahead of Wimbledon, and he did win the title here four years ago, beating Roberto Bautista Agut in the final.
He faces Ignacio Buse. The Peruvian competed in his first ever tour-level grass court event at Queen’s Club last week. He dramatically saved match points to beat Marcos Giron in his opening match, before a tame loss to Brandon Nakashima. Buse won his first ever ATP title at the Hamburg Open last month.
Tsitsipas has never truly excelled on grass, but he is still a former champion in Mallorca and should be expected to get the job done.
