Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Diego Schwartzman 4/15/22 - ATP Monte Carlo, Monaco Men Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 04/14/2022 at 1:47 PM ET
In the 2022 ATP Monte Carlo Masters in Monaco, Diego Schwartzman from Argentina has reached the quarterfinals of the tournament. At this stage of the competition, he is set to play against Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece.
Stefanos Tsitsipas enters this match having won his previous outing in straight sets. It was a comfortable win for the Greek superstar as he controlled the majority of the match. During the win, Stefanos Tsitsiaps controlled the match with some strong serving as he hit 5 aces and won all of his service games. Stefanos Tsitsipas has not been at his best in 2022 but the Greek superstar has looked good at Monte Carlo and will be looking to challenge for the title.
On the other side of the coin, Diego Schwartzman has been historically very strong on clay and he has been showing that skill in this tournament. Schwartzman enters this match having won his previous outing in 3 sets. Schwartzman lost his opening match but fought back strongly to win the final 2 sets of the match. Diego Schwartzman had a strong South American leg of the season at the Rio Open and the Argentina Open. This is a much tougher challenge but the Argentinian superstar will be backing his ability to challenge Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman have played each other 3 times in the past with Diego Schwartzman winning on 2 occasions and Stefanos Tsitsipas winning only once. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season at the ATP Cup where Diego Schwartzman won in 3 sets. Tsitsipas last defeated Schwartzman in 2018 at ATP Barcelona.
Taking everything into consideration, I am going to pick Diego Schwartzman to win this match. This should be a close match between two elite players but on clay, I see Schwartzman being better. This should be a good contest with the match lasting all 3 sets.
