Tsitsipas' second opponent at the Stockholm tournament will be Mikael Ymer of Sweden. They have met four times, at three Majors and a Marseille indoor. Ymer could not even win a set of Tsitsipas. Logically, the Scandinavian is quoted as a big outsider.

Tsitsipas beat Cressy in two sets, but we can't call it a sure win because they had tie-breaks in both games, scoring 14-12 in the second set. Stefanos made seven aces and one double fault, winning 91% on the first serve and 53% on the second. On the receiving end, his stats were 20%/42%. That is why he is predictably and deservedly rated as the favorite to win this match. The only thing we can say about the Swede's advantage is that he's playing at home.
Mikael Ymer
No. 79, the Swede played two matches at the Stockholm tournament, knocking out Gali and Paul. Mikael won over the latter in one hour and 17 minutes, 6-2, 6-3. Ymer didn't have any aces or doubles. He got 62% points on the first serve and 78% on the second, and 47%/74% on reception. Ymer doesn't have a super strong serve, but he has a solid and reliable second serve, a decent one for the 79th player. At the same time, he couldn't take a single set from Tsitsipas, although they had played four matches. This fact also makes a huge difference.
Expert Betting Tips
Tsitsipas barely beat Cressy, but the American is ranked higher than Ymer. Maxime, unlike Mikael, has a powerful serve. Ymer relies mainly on stability, not power, and he has a high touch. Overall, Ymer is a no-brainer. Stephanos will stay very fresh in the semifinals since his next opponent will be the formidable Tiafoe.
