Stefanos Tsitsipas vs James Duckworth prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas brought an end to Mikhail Kukushkin’s career at the Almaty Open after a dominant 6-1 6-2 victory. The former world number three, who reached the final of this event six years ago, did not concede a break point on his way to victory. Tsitsipas reached the round-of-16 at the Shanghai Masters, and he is up to 35 in the live rankings.

His next opponent is James Duckworth. The Australian notched up an impressive win over second seed Luciano Darderi. Duckworth edged clear in both sets to win 7-5 7-6 (7) after an hour and 45 minutes. Duckworth also won in straight sets over Miomir Kecmanovic in the first-round. 

Tsitsipas leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a win over Duckworth in Washington eight years ago. Duckworth is a fellow runner up at this event, a year later in 2021, but this is a match that Tsitsipas will be expected to win in comfortable fashion.
