Sebastian Ofner vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction & Picks - ATP Barcelona

Stefanos Tsitsipas is just starting his ATP tournament in Barcelona after his resounding success at the Monte Carlo tournament last Sunday. After his 2-set victory over Casper Ruud in the final, the Greek player has once again demonstrated his ease on clay and his incredible performances on the ATP circuit. This Wednesday, he takes on Austria's Sebastian Ofner, and is the logical favorite to win this second round match. Having lost just 2 of his 6 matches in Monaco, Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently on cloud nine and will be looking to excel once more in Barcelona. Ofner, on the other hand, is a little less at ease playing on clay; he was eliminated in the first round in Marrakech and the second round in Monte-Carlo. Having beaten Pavel Kotov in Barcelona, he will probably have a little less energy against Tsitsipas, as his match was long and tedious. The Austrian lost the first set in almost 2.5 hours, but finally came back to win 6-3, 6-2 in the last 2 sets. Ofner and Tsitsipas know each other well, having met last year at Rolland Garros and in 2017 at Antwerp. The Greek won both these encounters and will be even more confident on Wednesday.
