Francisco Cerundolo vs Alexander Blockx prediction

Francisco Cerundolo swept aside Luciano Darderi to book a round of 16 clash with Alexander Blockx.

The Argentine’s powerhouse forehand did plenty of damage as he clinched a 6-2 6-3 success over the Italian.

Next up, the 16th seed meets world number 69 Alexander Blockx after the Belgian scored a superb 7-6 6-3 triumph over third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Blockx is playing the tennis of his life at present, but Fran is a major force when firing on all cylinders in these conditions. If the South American ignites like he did against Darderi, he’ll be confident of reaching the last eight here.
