2022 US Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas Betting Odds, Preview & Prediction

by |

Men’s tennis has been heavily dominated by the “Big Three” of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer for the last two decades. However, the U.S. Open has been the most volatile of the four Grand Slam events in crowning other champions. Djokovic and Nadal won four titles in five years, from 2015-19. However, Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev have won the last two U.S. Opens, with wins by Andy Murray, Marin Cilic, and Stan Wawrinka mixed in over the last decade.

This year’s U.S. Open is even more open on the men’s side after the not-so-shocking announcement that Novak Djokovic would be ineligible to play because of his vaccination status. Thus, Nadal must be the torch bearer as the lone “Big Three” participant. So is it his to win, or will yet another new player throw their name into the mix of Grand Slam champions?

This is the first annual BettingPros Guide to the U.S. Open, where we will highlight several of the top contenders from both the Men’s and Women’s Draws.

Read on for our thoughts and predictions for Stefanos Tsitsipas at the U.S. Open in 2022.

Stefanos Tsitsipas U.S. Open History

The U.S. Open has been Tsitsipas’s worst of all the four Grand Slams in terms of best finish, as he has reached the fourth round or better in the other three. However, his 56% winning percentage (5-4 record) is slightly better than his .500 record (5-5) at Wimbledon. Tsitsipas dropped at least one set in his first two wins at the U.S. Open last year against Andy Murray and Adrian Mannarino before losing a thrilling five-set match to the up-and-coming and now world No. 3, Carlos Alcaraz. Tsitsipas’s most infamous moment came in that match against Murray when he took an eight-minute bathroom break, which had people accusing him of cheating. Murray said that he had “lost respect” for the Greek player after the match.

Stefanos Tsitsipas Recent Form

Though he has not played a lot of tennis since Wimbledon, Tsitsipas has to be happy with his recent results, with two finals appearances and one win in his last four tournaments. Tsitsipas may hold the title of the best player in the men’s draw to never have won a Grand Slam and is looking to change that with a breakthrough run at Flushing Meadows.

Stefanos Tsitsipas U.S. Open Predictions

Tsitsipas is favored to win his quarter, one that also features big-serving American Taylor Fritz and Matteo Berrettini. However, seeing as the Greek has never made it past the third round in Flushing Meadows, we cannot get too excited about his prospects of a deep run this year. In addition, the New York crowd can be ruthless and unforgiving, and many will still root against Tsitsipas for his antics against Murray.

The Pick: Tsitsipas Will Not Win His Quarter
