Jordan Thompson vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction: Greek Stefanos with an advantage here

While it is true that the allure of Grand Slam is unmatchable, the tennis lineups can be as stacked as them in other tournaments too. Most of the pro tennis tournaments have high historical prestige and one of those tournaments is the Indian Wells Masters. In this game of Indian Wells Open, Jordan Thompson will take on Stefanos Tstisipas.

Thompson comes into this game after downing a tough competition Gael Monfils quite easily, winning 6-3, 6-1. In that game, Jordan had a 66-55% first serve advantage and had a superior 72-58% win of first serve. His return game was even more impressive and he doubled the advantage in that regard with a 23-11 points edge. This superbn showing gives him great rhythm entering this game. 

Stefanos earned a bye for the Round of 64 since he is the second-seeded player in the tournament. Stefanos last played during Rotterdam Open where he was ousted in the second round by Jannik Sinner. Before that Stefanos was slicing and dicing in the Australian Open, only to be denied the title by ultimate champion Novak Djokovic in a heated Final. He is currently ranked third in the world which is not a surprise.

We don’t have to do much song and dance to figure out who is the favorite here. While it is true that Jordan has experience, Stefanos doesn’t care about that type of stuff and has decimated opponents regardless of that. That is why chances are for a two-set win for Stefanos.
