D. Thiem – S. Tsitsipas 2:2
Tsitsipas will do well! The Greek now finds the rhythm on his own serve and gets his service to zero.
12:21
D. Thiem – S. Tsitsipas 2:1
Meanwhile, Thiem is serving his second ace, among other things, and is currently making a better impression. Six unforced errors at Tsitsipas in three service games are simply too many.
12:18
D. Thiem – S. Tsitsipas 1:1
The Greek is now mainly helped by his serve. When it comes to rallies, Tsitsipas still has some timing problems. The 24-year-old has to stop these unnecessary mistakes in order not to make life unnecessarily difficult for himself.
12:15 p.m
D. Thiem – S. Tsitsipas 1:0
And Thiem starts with a flawless service game. The Austrian starts very concentrated and does not allow the opponent to score.
12:13
D. Thiem – S. Tsitsipas 0:0
Here we go! Dominic Thiem starts with his own service and has to go straight over the second serve. Nevertheless, the Austrian gets the point after the two start with a long rally.
12:03
Direct comparison still per Thiem
The two players have faced each other in nine official matches so far. Five times the winner was Dominic Thiem, four times Tsitsipas had the better end for himself. However, the Greek also won the only duel in the last 2.5 years, in April in Madrid after three sets.

Cracking tsitsipas on grass?
In addition, Thiem is dealing with a player from the top shelf today. The Greek has been in the top ten for years and is a permanent guest in the second week of the Grand Slams. However, the green underground is anything but home for the 24-year-old. His best result at Wimbledon was therefore only the round of 16 in 2018, and Tsitsipas did not finish well at this year’s preparatory tournaments in Halle and Mallorca either
11:42
Not ideal conditions
After his protracted injury, Dominic Thiem is still struggling for his form. The Austrian is now back in the top 100, but he is still a long way from his old strength. Can he take the next step in Wimbledon of all places? After all, the Austrian has not been here since 2019 due to Corona and the injury. In addition, Thiem only played one match on grass this season, which he lost in Halle against Alexander Zverev in two sets. So the conditions could be better.
