–
Stefanos Tsitsipas v Matteo Berrettini has popcorn potential, and it gets a Stadium Court slot for the purpose.
Tsitsipas leads their head-to-head 4-1, plus another in the qualifying at the US Open all the way back in 2017. But their most recent meeting, in Dubai last month, was a very close match. In fact, many of them have been.
That first meeting in 2017 was three tiebreak sets.
Also look out for Musetti v Fils, and Paul vs former Indian Wells champ Cameron Norrie.
(Indian Wells is 3 hours beind ET)
