Fabian Marozsan vs Joao Fonseca prediction
Fabian Marozsan shone at the BMW Open in mid-April, making his first semi-final in well over a year without dropping a set before a defeat to number one seed Alexander Zverev. Disappointingly for the Hungarian, he was not able to back that up in Madrid as he lost in the first-round to Bucharest Open champion Flavio Cobolli.
Joao Fonseca has endured a rather difficult start to his European clay court season. He defeated Elmer Moller in the first-round of Madrid but squandered set points and 10 out of a possible 11 break point opportunities on his way to losing 7-6 7-6 to Tommy Paul in the next stage. He then fell to a surprising straight sets loss to Jesper De Jong in the first-round of the Estoril Challenger last week.
The Brazilian made numerous unforced errors during the encounter and must tighten up his game if he is to able to make a deep run here. Nevertheless, we think the young Brazilian will get back to winning ways here with a relatively comfortable win over Marozsan.
