Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Mattia Bellucci Tips, Prediction & Live Stream

Stefanos Tsitsipas looks to improve his record in Rotterdam quarter-finals to 3-0 when he squares off against qualifier Mattia Bellucci on Friday.

While Tsitsipas has been struggling throughout the course of the last 12 months, he's been solid indoors, with the Greek making his fourth straight quarter-final in these conditions. Bellucci recorded the biggest win of his career over Daniil Medvedev in the previous round, but I'm backing a letdown moment for the Italian here - hugely doubtful he can back it up with another huge scalp. Loading up with Tsitsipas to prevail and he's good value to cover -2.5 and -4.5 games handicaps in the process.

Head To Head

This will be the first career meeting between the pair.

Stefanos Tsitsipas Form

It was a tough season for Tsitsipas in 2024, with the Greek dropping out of the top 10 and experiencing a significant dip in his overall level.

Things didn't go according to plan to kick off 2025 either, with Tsitsipas bowing out of the Australian Open in the first round against Alex Michelsen - a tournament he usually thrives in.

However, as mentioned, Tsitsipas has been solid indoors, making the quarter-finals in Antwerp, Basel and the Paris Masters to finish off last year.

The Greek is now into a fourth consecutive indoors quarter-final in Rotterdam, easing past Harold Mayot before saving a match point to defeat home hope Tallon Griekspoor, which should give him massive confidence heading into this clash.

Mattia Bellucci Form

Bellucci has toiled away on the Challenger circuit over the last couple of years in a bid to crack the top 100 and he's achieved that goal and more to launch 2025.

The Italian didn't have a great start to the season, losing early in all of his tournaments, including Australian Open qualifying.

However, Bellucci has put together the week of his life in Rotterdam, coming from qualifying and making his first ATP 500 quarter-final, which has propelled him into the top 70 in the live rankings.

Bellucci had a good draw in facing local teenager Mees Rotgerring in the opening round, but he was brilliant in the second round, claiming his first top 10 scalp and outplaying Daniil Medvedev, prevailing by a 6-3 6-7 6-3 score.

Verdict

Stefanos Tsitsipas v Mattia Bellucci

Can't see Bellucci backing up his big win over Medvedev and claiming another top 15 scalp to reach a maiden ATP semi-final.

Tsitsipas has been enjoying indoor conditions lately and his win over Griekspoor will have given him a big boost ahead of this clash. Backing the Greek to prevail and the $4.50 on offer with Betr (which surely has to move) for covering a -4.5 games line looks ridiculous value.
