Just like ATP Monte Carlo itself, the semifinal lineup of the first clay Masters of the year oozes prestige and class. With Novak Djokovic looking to become the first player ever to win three titles of each and every Masters 1000 event, he\u2019s joined by former two-time champion Stefanos Tsitsipas and the hottest player in the world so far in 2024, Jannik Sinner. As always, we at LWOT have the preview and prediction for the two semifinal matches. But who do you think will advance to the final?<\/p>\n
Head-to-Head: <\/strong>Tsitsipas 5-3<\/p>\n The Italian has only lost one match this year. However, that was severely under threat in the quarterfinals against Holger Rune, the man who beat him here last year. Despite being pushed to the brink, the Australian Open champion<\/a> just further proved how far mentally he\u2019s come this year. Next, he plays 2021 and 2022 champion Stefanos Tsitsipas. Despite the Greek leading the rivalry, the Italian is no doubt the favourite in the encounter.<\/p>\n Not only is Sinner in the form of his life, but his serve has improved massively over the last six months. Unfortunately for Tsitsipas, who\u2019s now dropped outside of the world\u2019s top 10, his return has always been arguably his biggest weakness. Put the two together, and it\u2019s hard to see the World No. 2 not getting his fourth win. His power, serve, and consistency are simply unmatched right now.<\/p>\n Prediction: Sinner in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
