Expect few breaks of serve as both players like to dominate with a serve plus one. With an 80% success rate on first serve points, there will be some meaty blows traded in this pick of the second round battles.<\/p><p>Even in their solitary previous encounter, Tsitsipas had to dig deep to emerge on the right side against Machac. After all, the 25-year-old is extremely good at covering the angles and producing winners from uncanny positions on both wings. This is why we are sensing that a four or five setter is on the cards &ndash; with the total games comfortably exceeding the 39.5 mark.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stefanos Tsitsipas On-Court Interview | Australian Open 2026 First Round\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PQH4_sCnI18?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stefanos Tsitsipas Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adelaide International 2026: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>United Cup 2026: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Davis Cup 2025: Round Robin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>US Open 2025: Round of 64<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Winston-Salem Open 2025: Round of 32<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tomas Machac Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adelaide International 2026: Winner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brisbane International 2026: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paris Masters 2025: Round of 64<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Erste Bank Open Vienna 2025: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shanghai Masters 2025: Round of 32<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grigor Dimitrov v Tomas Machac Highlights | Australian Open 2026 First Round\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wvgfvJ2q95Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Tomas Machac Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>Stefanos Tsitsipas leads the rivalry against Tomas Machac by 1-0.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648669"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648669"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":648674,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648669\/revisions\/648674"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
