Tsitsipas isn't in best shape at the moment, but earlier this season the World No.3 reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and was the runner-up in Rotterdam.
Alex de Minaur

De Minaur feels confident on the American hard courts. He even reached the last 16 at the Indian Wells Masters last week. This won't be a pleasure cruise for Tsitsipas - we suggest backing the underdog.
