The Greek came to Barcelona with the trophy he won last week in Monte Carlo. Tsitsipas defeated Norwegian Ruud in the final of that tournament in Monaco. The Greek has three wins in Catalonia: against Austria's Ofner, Spain's Carballes Baena, both in straight sets and Argentina's Diaz Acosta. The match against the South American lasted two hours and 35 minutes, and Tsitsipas won 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. Tsitsipas had three aces and seven double faults, winning 73% of his points on his first serve and 46% on his second. Return statistics: 21%/48%.

The Serb was not good in Monaco, losing his first match to Frenchman Muller in straight sets. In Barcelona, Lajovic won four games in four matches, knocking out Argentinian Schwartzman, Frenchmen Humbert and Fils, and Spanish Davidovich Fokina. Lajovic faced Fils in the quarter-finals and beat the Frenchman 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. During the match, Dusan served one ace without a double fault and won 57% of the points on his first serve and 67% on his second. Return statistics: 31%/61%.

Tsitsipas had a hard-fought win over Diaz Acosta, and now he'll need to stay as fresh as possible ahead of a likely final against Ruud and to do that, he'll need to beat Lajovic, who can be described as a comfortable opponent, with minimal effort. At least Stefanos has the advantage and two wins over the Serb on clay. We prefer the favorite in this pairing, with the Greek confident of victory in the semi-finals of the Barcelona tournament.
