Here’s a look at the previews for the Stuttgart Open Round of 16 matches between Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Dominic Stricker and Andy Murray vs Alexander Bublik.
Despite an impressive start to the year, Stefanos Tsitsipas has often shown that he is one to struggle on grass. He is probably the only player in the top 10 who is uncomfortable on this type of court. The Greek star is now in line to face a tricky opponent in the fourth round of the German competition in the form of Dominic Stricker. The Swiss tennis player has been under the radar for quite a while. Stricker cruised past his qualifiers by beating Aslan Karatsev before getting past Maxime Cressy in round one with a dramatic comeback.

Head to head and Predictions
These two players have never faced each other in the past but given that Tsitsipas could struggle on grass, our prediction is a win in three sets for Stricker.
Andy Murray missed out on participating at the Roland Garros due to his preparation for the Wimbledon but lost in the semi-finals in Surbiton last week against American Denis Kudla in three sets. The Scot made it to the fourth round of the Stuttgart Open by beating Christopher O’Connell in straight sets.
Meanwhile, Alexander Bublik beat Denis Kudla in the opening qualifier. The 24-year-old will now be hoping to cause a massive upset against Murray.
