French Open Day 8 (Sun)

A week into the French Open, and we're sitting on a very nice little profit so far. We crack on into Sunday with Stefanos Tsitsipas against Stan Wawrinka.

Let's start with Wawrinka. After long standing injury troubles, he should be feeling very happy with himself - into a fourth round in a slam for the first time since making the final here in 2017. His performance levels remain something short of being back to his best, and that could make him vulnerable in this one against a player who really does look close to crack the elite level.

Wawrinka has played eight clay matches against Top 100 players in 2019, recording a 4-4 record in those. He has won 64.3% of service points, which is really impressive, but a more modest 36.9% of receiving points. Combining for 101.2% is decent enough, but not quite where he needs to be.

Tsitsipas has played matches on the same metric, going 10-4 in those. His service points won are almost as good - 63.0%, while his return game has been excellent - winning 40.1% of return points. Combining for 103.1%.

Tsitsipas has lost only to Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal since April, winning the Estoril Open, making the final in Madrid and the semi-finals in Rome. All of course, on similar surfaces as this will be played.
