The encounter will headline a feisty set of opening round battles at the BNP Paribas Open, with the winner set to face Tomas Martin Etcheverry in Round-2 and possibly Jannik Sinner in Round-3. While the Canadian southpaw currently has the advantage in the rivalry, Tsitsipas is a two-time Grand Slam finalist with bucketloads of experience.

The former World No. 3 went unbeaten at the United Cup and also had an impressive run at the Qatar Open. With a record of 9-5 in 2026 and 376-188 overall, the 27-year-old from Greece will be hoping to punch above his weight in California. Another player who has been underperforming of late, Denis Shapovalov is searching for his first championship run since July 2025. The World No. 39 reached the semifinal in Dallas last month, but failed to make his presence felt in any other tournament.

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\/652618"}],"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=652618"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":652647,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652618\/revisions\/652647"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
