Stefanos Tsitsipas v Jordan Thompson live stream | Australian Open 2024 preview, H2H and betting tips

Stefanos Tsitsipas continues his quest to go one better at the Australian Open when he plays home favourite Jordan Thompson on Wednesday.

The Greek was runner-up to Novak Djokovic in Melbourne 12 months ago, losing in straight sets as the Serb claimed his 10th title at the season’s opening major.

Although, Tsitsipas to truly kick on from reaching his second major final, with victory in Los Cabos representing his only silverware of the campaign.

Nevertheless, he will be confident of continuing his impressive record at the Australian Open, where he has reached at least the semi-finals in four of the last five years.

As for Thompson, who was runner-up in s’Hertogenbosch and a two-time Challenger Tour winner in Gwangju and Georgia last term, this is his 11th successive appearance in the main draw of his home slam.

However, his hard-earned five-set victory over compatriot Aleksandar Vukic in the opening round was only his second match win in 14 matches at the tournament.

The match gets under way from around 8am GMT (7pm local time) on Margaret Court Arena, with either Lorenzo Musetti or Luca Van Assche awaiting the winner in the third round.

Stefanos Tsitsipas v Jordan Thompson prediction

His ranking and Australian Open pedigree makes Tsitsipas a heavy favourite to progress here.

Although, he did make a slow start against Zizou Bergs in the opening round, losing the opening set before eventually running out a commanding 5-7, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 winner.

That will encourage Thompson, who reached his first hard-court semi-final at the Brisbane International earlier this month – beating 22-time major winner Rafael Nadal along the way.

Nevertheless, you would still expect Tsitsipas’ quality to eventually prove too much for him.
