Tsitsipas comes into this match in excellent form, having not dropped a set so far in the tournament.

However, the Italian will be looking to make amends and start to realise his tennis potential, hoping he can make it past the quarter finals for the first time in a Grand Slam.

The 22-year-old did come back from two sets down in his previous match to win in five but has been faultless in the lead-up to this highly anticipated battle.

Seeded 15 at the Australian Open, Sinner will be hoping to jump up the ranks and a win against the in-form Tsitsipas would be a great start.
