Arthur Fils vs Felix Auger-Aliassime prediction

Arthur Fils ended Marton Fucsovics’ run to surge into the round of 16.

The Frenchman notched up a 6-3 7-5 victory to tee up a battle with Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The Canadian overcame an early blow to defeat his compatriot Gabriel Diallo 6-7 6-3 6-3. 

This is their second meeting and a possible revenge mission for Fils who went down 6-4 6-2 in Montpellier recently. 

Fils may make more impact with it being slower, high bouncing and outdoors and we are going to tip an upset here, with FAA not quite as comfortable in these conditions.
