Gabriel Diallo vs Felix Auger Aliassime prediction

Felix Auger-Aliassime faces Gabriel Diallo in a clash of Canada’s top two at Indian Wells. 

The ninth seed shrugged off Gael Monfils’ early promise to end the Frenchman’s final appearance at the tournament with a 6-7 6-3 6-4 win. 

FAA now takes on Diallo for the second time after the world number 38 upset 17th seed Andrey Rublev 6-7 7-6 6-3. 

It was Canada’s number one that came out on top by a 6-2 7-5 scoreline in Basel last year and we expect him to prevail again, but Diallo is capable of taking it the distance if he serves as well as he did against Rublev.
