Daniel Merida vs Zizou Bergs prediction
Daniel Merida drew admiring glances for how he stepped up a gear when trailing in the second round. However, the likelihood is that Zizou Bergs won’t let him off the hook as easily if the Spaniard doesn’t start well in this second-round encounter. The Belgian caught a bad draw in Montreal, running into eventual winner Ben Shelton in the round of 32, so he’d love to make up for that here.
Whilst Merida boasts excellent energy as you would expect from a 21-year-old, Bergs’ aggressive playstyle is the sort that Merida may well struggle to contain on the hard court. You would expect Bergs to make far less mistakes and in what should prove a high-quality match-up, that may well wind up being the difference.
