20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas and 19-year-old Denis Shapovalov are among the brightest young players on the ATP circuit. On Tuesday they will clash for a place in the Miami Open quarters at 7 pm in the Grandstand in what will be the 3rd chapter of their young rivalry.
Tsitsipas and Shapovalov in the 3rd round
Both Stefanos and Denis impressed on how they won their 3rd round match in Miami.
Stefanos had a rather mature 6-4 6-4 win over Leonardo Mayer after conceding no break points for the entire match. The only weak point for the Greek was that he converted only 2 break points of 11, but for the rest, he was in full control of the contest.
Denis had also a very good performance against Andrey Rublev. In fact, the Russian is recovering from his back problems and he played pretty well against the Canadian. Denis was impressive on how he recovered a 3-5 deficit in the second set before winning 6-3 7-6 (5)
Head to head Denis Shapovalov vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas
This will be the 3rd time that Stefanos and Denis play each other. The head to head is 1-all. Shapovalov defeated Tsitsipas in their first match at the Australian Open in 2018 6-1 6-3 7-6 (5). Tsitsipas beat Shapovalov in Monte Carlo (clay courts) 6-3 6-4.
