Alex de Minaur vs Joao Fonseca Prediction
Alex de Minaur was relatively comfortable last time out against Yunchaokete Bu, winning 6-4, 6-4 and will be expected to dominate this next contest when taking into account his pedigree compared to that of Joao Fonseca. The latter though, is hardened in battle after already coming through two matches to reach this stage of the competition.
Fonseca took out the seeded Ugo Humbert in the last round and was utterly clinical on his first serve, winning 96% of points. Such a high percentage is unlikely to be sustained from his perspective, particularly against a player of de Minaur’s quality, who should be able to return Fonseca’s serves strongly.
In the end, class should tell over the course of this match and de Minaur is likely to overwhelm Fonseca in the end. Despite already having taken one scalp, the Australian should prove a bridge too far for Fonseca, so back de Minaur to win.
