Arthur Fils vs Alex de Minaur prediction
Alex de Minaur has bounced back well from his early exit at the Canadian Open, winning his first two matches in Cincinnati. However, he hasn’t entirely convinced so far at the tournament and of the five sets he has competed in, the Australian has dropped at least five games in three of them, winning two tie-breakers. He was pushed hard by Britain’s Arthur Fery in the last round, failing to put him away early on and that lack of ruthlessness could expose the number five seed.
Arthur Fils meanwhile, has been in very good form recently and comes into this match full of confidence. Having reached the quarter-finals in Montreal, Fils already boasts a win over one higher seeded opponent here in Cincinnati, downing Jiri Lehecka in round three. Another potentially big scalp awaits in de Minaur and when you consider that Fils has been playing the better tennis over the past week or so, backing the lower ranked player has to be favoured.
