Greek superstar looking to end his title drought in New York.
Stefanos Tsitsipas will look to end his ordinary run of form against Alexandre Muller in the first round of the 2025 US Open on Tuesday. The Greek starlet hasn’t been his usual self for a long time now. At the recently concluded majors, Tsitsipas got eliminated in the second round of the French Open, and then couldn’t get past the first round in Wimbledon. The 27-year-old hopes to regain some of his lost momentum and end the year on a high note in New York.
On the other hand, Alexandre Muller isn’t having much of a better time on the court either. The Frenchman has a middling 20/20 record on the ATP Tour this year. Muller couldn’t move past Round-1 in Wimbledon and the French Open. As it stands, this match holds huge importance for both these men. It can prove to be a small ray of hope in a dark year. But who will prevail? Let’s find out using the most accurate betting odds provided by BetMGM.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has a 2-0 record in the head-to-head against Alexandre Muller.
Tsistispas and Muller have faced each other twice so far. Interestingly both the times it was the Greek who came on top. In the first battle, Tsitsipas completed a 6-3, 7-5 straight sets win over the Frenchman. In Rome 2025 however, the match was decided by a second set tiebreaker.
| Year | Event | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Rome | Round of 64 | Stefanos Tsitsipas | 6-2, 7-6(3) |
| 2024 | Shanghai | Round of 32 | Stefanos Tsitsipas | 6-3, 7-5 |
| Stefanos Tsitsipas | Category | Alexandre Muller |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | Current Rank | 38 |
| 20/16 | YTD W/L | 20/20 |
| 1 | YTD Titles | 1 |
| 365/181 | Career W/L | 47/59 |

Despite Tsitsipas’ recent struggles, he remains much ahead of Muller – at least when it comes to his serve and forehand. However, the real trouble for the Greek is his backhand – a problem he is yet to fully solve. Certainly, Muller would look to take advantage of Tsitsipas’ weakness. In short, the entire match depends upon Muller’s ability to make inroads on the Tsitsipas, and the backhand success rate for the two-time Grand Slam finalist.
Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas in four sets.
Tsitsipas remains a firm favorite in this match. Here are the detailed odds per the highly accurate data from BetMGM.

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
