Arthur Fery vs Flavio Cobolli prediction
This is one of those dangerous fixtures where the seeded player will start as favourite but his opponent has a big chance of springing a surprise in the powderkeg of a Grand Slam. Fery has momentum in his favour and could easily catch Cobolli cold, with the young Italian having been knocked out in the first round last year.
Cobolli is an extremely talented player, but at 23-years-old there are still noticeable chinks in his armour, ones than Fery can take advantage of. The Brit is an intelligent hitter and covers the court extremely well and should he take an early lead than it will be hard for Cobolli to come back from.
The shrewd play here may well be to back the underdog Fery to upset Cobolli and take the scalp of a seed in round one. There’s always a number of shocks in a Grand Slam and this may well turn out to be one.
