Fritz beat Diaz Acosta, Gaston, and Marozan at the Australian Open, losing all three sets. The match against Marozsan lasted two hours and 24 minutes, and Fritz won 3:6, 6:4, 6:2, 6:2. During the game, Taylor served 19 aces with two double faults and won 79% of the points on his first serve and 65% on his second. Return stats: 43%/51%, winner/unforced errors stats 53/24.

Tsitsipas started the 2024 AO with two 4-set matches against Bergs and Thompson. In the third round, the Greek defeated the Frenchman Van Asch in three sets with a score of 6:3, 6:0, 6:4. Obviously, the finalist of the last draw is in good shape and wants to repeat the success of the last tournament. During the match against Van Ash, Tsitsipas made 12 aces with zero double faults, winning 75% of the points on the first serve and 57% on the second. Return statistics: 49%/56%, winner/unforced errors statistics 36/21.

Tsitsipas has won 100% of his hardcourt games against Fritz, including their only meeting in Melbourne. It is worthwhile to go by these statistics, i.e., we expect the Greek, not the American, to make it to the next round of the season's first major. As far as the match is concerned, we doubt it will be short.  and will not be surprised if it goes to 5 sets.
