After a week of exciting and high quality indoor hard court tennis, it is time for the final the first ATP 500 event of the season in Rotterdam. Stefanos Tsitsipas is the top seed, and is bidding to win his first ATP 500 Title. Felix Auger Aliassime is aiming to win his first ATP Title, and is playing in his ninth ATP Tour final.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is yet to win an ATP 500 title. Jiri Lehecka pushed the Greek to a third set in their semifinal. However, the Greek’s experience prevailed and his level improved in the third set. Tsitsipas’s level has fluctuated this week. He played brilliant tennis in his wins over Ilya Ivashka and Alex De Minaur. However, he struggled in his opening match of the week against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, as well as in his semifinal against Jiri Lehecka. The Czech overpowered Tsitsipas in the opening set of that match, and Auger Aliassime has the firepower to rush the Greek, especially on his backhand side. It’ll be interesting to see if the number 1 seed can produce his best in the final.
