Arthur Fils vs Stefanos Tsitsipas prediction

Fils has made a strong start to the Miami Open this week. The Frenchman won 80% of his first-serve points and did not face a single break point in the second round.

Meanwhile, Tsitsipas impressed with a big win over fifth seed Alex De Minaur. The Greek has been working on his game since the start of the season, and this result should give him confidence going forward.

Fils looked sharp in all areas, from his powerful forehand to his solid returns and timely serve-and-volley play. On the other hand, Tsitsipas relied on his effortless forehand, attacked the net whenever he got the chance, and kept his points short to stay in control.

Fils has a strong record against Tsitsipas, losing just one set to De Minaur in their last four meetings. The third round in Miami will be a tough challenge, but the Frenchman looks capable of holding his nerve and reaching the last 16.

Pick: Fils to win in three sets.
