Stefanos Tsitsipas has struggled to find his footing, with a career baseline win percentage hovering around 56% on grass, a surface where he has often faltered. His current trajectory shows signs of decline, particularly highlighted by his recent loss to Ilya Buse in Mallorca, which marked a dip in his performance just ahead of Wimbledon.
Tsitsipas arrives at this match with a mixed bag of results. He has secured three wins in his last five matches, yet those victories came against lower-ranked opponents, leaving questions about his readiness for a top-tier clash. As he faces Novak Djokovic, Tsitsipas must sharpen his focus and find consistency, especially considering his recent defeat in a major tournament earlier this season.
