Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Milos Raonic Prediction: The Canadian has the advantage in head-to-head meetings

One of the final matches of the first day of play at the Majors in New York will be a duel between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Milos Raonic. The Greek is in the top ten of the ATP rankings, while the Canadian is only in the fourth hundred, however, the Canadian has the advantage in head-to-head meetings, being the outsider of the pair.

Stefanos has mixed statistics on the hard court after the grass part of the season. First, he won the tournament in Los Cabos, Mexico, and then he failed at two Masters in Toronto and Cincinnati, losing in Canada to Monfils and in Ohio to Hurkacz, both in two sets. We'll see how the Greek starts the American Majors, but it's not sure that he'll be successful.

At Wimbledon, Milos reached only the second round, losing to Tommy Paul in 4 sets, but it must be said that the match was not easy for the American; the guys played two tie-breaks. After London, the Canadian played only one hard-court tournament in Toronto. There, he played three matches and knocked out Tiafoe and Daniel but lost in two games to MacDonald.

Tsitsipas has played frankly poorly at the last two Masters, and in general, the Greek has not impressed lately with his play and results, which affected Stefanos' ranking. Milos is ranked only 337th in the ATP rankings, but we don't think we should focus on that. The Canadian has the potential to do many things; let's not forget that Milos has been in the top 10 for a long time and was even in the top 5 of the rankings. And at the Toronto Masters, Milos played better than the Greek, plus he has two wins. We think that Milos is a bit underrated, and we wouldn't be surprised to see Raonic rather than Tsitsipas in the second round of the Majors.
