Last Updated: 04/16/2022 at 10:56 PM ET
In the final of the 2022 ATP Monte Carlo Masters, Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece is set to play against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from Spain.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has been an exceptional player throughout this season and following some strong performances, he will be confident in his ability to challenge for the title here at Monaco. It has been a strong tournament for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina as he has already defeated the likes of Taylor Fritz and Novak Djokovic. In the previous round of the tournament, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina defeated Grigor Dimitrov. It was an outstanding match for Forkina as he won over 80% of his service points while being able to break his opponent’s serve on 5 occasions. This will be another big challenge as he is playing a big player in Stefanos Tsitsipas.
On the other side of the court, Stefanos Tsitsipas enters this match following a victory against Alexander Zverev. Zverev is an incredible player but Stefanos has been able to defeat the German superstar on 7 occasions now. During the win, Stefanos Tsitsipas dominated with his receiving as he was able to win over 50% of his receiving games. It has been a modest season for Stefanos Tsitsipas but the Greek superstar has looked in amazing form throughout this tournament and he has shown why he is considered one of the best players in the world.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina have played each other twice in the past with Stefanos Tsitsipas winning on both occasions. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season at ATP Rotterdam where Stefanos Tsitsipas won in 3 sets.
This should be a close match between two elite players as they both challenge for the title. That being said, I am going to pick Stefanos Tsitsipas to win this match. There is a difference in skill between the two players with the Greek superstar being a much stronger player at this moment in time. I see Stefanos Tsitsipas being good enough to win this match in 3 sets.
