The Greek is making his third appearance in the tournament and hasn’t lost a singles match so far.

Meanwhile, Schwartzman is ranked 17th in the world and has a fairly decent run this year in the ATP Tour. He last featured in the ATP Tour at the US Open, where he was ousted from the second round. Much recently he lost in the Davis Cup contest against Sweden’s Mikael Ymer and now looks to get back to winning ways.

They faced three times in this year alone with Tsitsipas winning two matches. Their most recent meeting was at the Cincinnati Masters with Tsitsipas winning in straight sets.
