Gaston, on the other hand, only recently managed to secure his first win of the year and is still low on confidence.Being a southpaw, the Frenchman does have a bit of an advantage. He can drag Tsitsipas wide on the return, opening up the court in the process. But he lacks a real weapon to hit through the Greek. Gaston will undoubtedly use dropshots frequently to try and throw Tsitsipas off his game, but the Greek is really quick around the court and should be able to handle such a tactic.Tsitsipas' three losses this year have been to players ranked in the top 15. While Gaston is a talented player and could make things competitive, he simply does not have the tools to pull off the upset.Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in straight sets.Also Check Out : What is Stefanos Tsitsipas's Net Worth in 2022?
