THE PREDICTION
Both world number five Stefanos Tsitsipas and number 34 John Isner have come through their first two matches without dropping a set and this looks like an enthralling match on Friday as a result. Isner won the first two meetings against Tsitsipas when the Greek was still a teenager but, now 22 years old, Tsitsipas leads their head-to-head 3-2 following a win at the Mexican Open earlier this year. This is their first meeting on clay, which should favour the world number five more than Isner, although the American has already proven time and time again his rare ability to play well on this surface for such a tall, powerful server. Isner has every chance of taking Tsitsipas to a tiebreak and snatching a set that way but that looks to be a useful alternative to calling sets here. Take Tsitsipas to win outright as the solid favourite and add at least a tiebreak in this match. There have been four in matches involving the pair so far this campaign.
