Jordan Thompson vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction: Second Round Gets More Interesting

It’s World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas taking on Jordan Thompson in the second round game of 2022 Wimbledon. Jordan Thompson stands 76th in the ATP rankings, which is considered an amateur level in the game. When these two met last in 2019, Tsitsipas won two back-to-back games. Now for the upcoming second round, we can expect Stefanos Tsitsipas to win.

Jordan Thompson accepts a normal routine play. In the opening round, he faced Roberto Carballes Baena. The Australian won the first three games in the opening set, but his opponent returned to win the next three. At 5-4 in the match, Thompson made his play and successfully broke Carballes Baena’s serve to win the set. The following two sets were highly biased. The Australian defeated his opponent 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 while dishing out breadsticks in each set.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is among the most favorite contenders for winning this year’s Wimbledon title. Tsitsipas got off to a sluggish start in the previous match, trailing 4-1 after the first set. In order to get back on serve, he fought back by winning the following four games in a row. At 5-4 in the set, Ritschard was serving to keep the match alive. He pushed deep and fended off five set points to maintain his service. In his following service game, Ritschard once again saved a set point after Tsitsipas made another rapid hold. The Greek established his superiority in the subsequent tie-break to win the set.

Going in the game, I will be backing Stefanos to win. Though he struggled a little in the opening game, he managed to get back the serve and attack. A similar approach is expected for the upcoming game. The game total will be somewhere around 30, and we might see Stefanos winning three straight sets in no time.
