Stefanos Tsitsipas vs John Isner prediction and head to head

The head-to-head between Stefanos Tsitsipas and John Isner is currently tied at 2-2 with Tsitsipas winning the last two encounters. With seven of the nine sets contested between the two players ending up in tiebreakers, it suggests how close this match could be as well. Tsitsipas has won three out of the six tiebreakers he has played in 2021 while Isner has won five of the last six tiebreakers that have come his way. Although Isner is likely to push Tsitsipas to the limit, we still expect Tsitsipas to win in straight sets.
