Basilashvili N. vs Tsitsipas S.

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 77%. Tsitsipas won a set in 9/10 completed recent hard matches, including wins over Fritz, Darderi and Etcheverry. He won all three Almaty matches and his only straight-set loss was to Medvedev. Rankings 39 versus 128 and the 64% match model favor him. Main risk: Basilashvili won a set in all nine recent completed matches and swept five Almaty opponents. He won a set in both completed best-of-three H2Hs from 2019 and 2021; the 2022 0-0 entry and 2019 best-of-five match are not used as BO3 evidence. This strong current opponent run limits the estimate. No current exact win-a-set price is verified; odds are omitted.
