STEFANOS TSITSIPAS VS THANASI KOKKINAKIS PREDICTION
Revenge will be on Stefanos Tsitsipas’ mind here given that Thanasi Kokkinakis was his conqueror in the first round of last month’s US Open. Indeed, since his quarter-final run at the French Open, it’s not been a fruitful summer in general for Tsitsipas, with the Greek having suffered several earlier-than-expected exits from the tournaments he has entered, the exception a run to the semi-finals of the Swiss Open Gstaad.
Kokkinakis will feel like he has the formula to beat his opponent here, but the truth is that Tsitsipas was under par that day in New York, and should the world number 12 play anything close to the level he is capable of, Team Europe should be claiming the points here.
Tsitsipas knows what it takes to win on the Laver Cup stage and we’re expecting the fired up Greek to make a statement with a straight-sets win over the tournament debutant.
