The Greek and the Serbian players have played against each other four times in the past. Their first match took place in the ITF Casablanca in 2016, where Tsitsipas emerged victorious in three sets. They would play against each other three times on the main draw of the ATP Tour, where Tsitsipas maintains an unbeaten record.

He not only has dominance against the player every time they have met, but he has beaten Djere three times on outdoor clay courts, giving him a handsome advantage.

The two players haven’t done much to set each other apart in 2024. However, Tsitsipas has dominance over Djere whenever they have met, never dropping a set in the ATP Tour, albeit their bouts being close contests. Monte-Carlo is another advantage for Tsitsipas, as he has won the tournament twice in his career.
Djere has struggled to trouble the top ATP players this year, and Tsitsipas is no different. The only thing Djere has going for him currently is his experience on clay. Djere has 66.52% wins on clay while Tsitsipas has 75% wins on clay, despite Djere having won 302 matches on clay, more than the 244 matches Tsitsipas has ever played on the surface.
