THE PREDICTION
World number four Stefanos Tsitsipas pulled out of his opening singles match of the ATP Cup with a slight elbow injury following the surgery that saw him pull out of the ATP Finals last season. The 23-year-old returned to court to win the dead rubber doubles against Poland alongside Michail Pervolarakis and that partnership could prove vital in this Greece vs Argentina tie with Pervolarakis very unlikely to beat Federico Delbonis in the second option opener. World number 13 Diego Schwartzman picked up where he left off late last year with a stunning dismissal of Nikoloz Basilashvili, conceding just three games to the world number 22.
29-year-old Schwartzman would normally be the severe underdog against the very top players despite his infectious, never-say-die approach to tennis but with Tsitsipas nursing a potential injury this could be quite the upset. That is, if Tsitsipas takes to court, with Aristotelis Thanos standing in on Saturday. It is best to leave this match alone until Tsitsipas actually stands on the court and even then this match could end up a default that could spoil an accumulator. At full strength Tsitsipas should win this in two but taking in-form Schwartzman to win at least a set could prove a shrewd move.
