J.J. Wolf vs James Duckworth prediction
One thing’s for certain, USA’s J.J Wolf won’t be short of fan support at this tournament. Born and raised in Cincinnati and a graduate of Ohio State University, the crowd will no doubt be willing the former Big Ten Men’s Tennis Athlete of the Year on with every point played and that should lead to a cauldron of an atmosphere, which James Duckworth must handle.
Whilst the Aussie is an experienced player, it still will not be easy for him and he’s facing a player full of confidence after having toughed it out through the qualifiers and won two matches already in order to reach this stage. The momentum is with Wolf and whilst we could see a three setter for the third straight match involving the Buckeye, back him to come through on home territory.
J.J. Wolf vs James Duckworth tip: J.J Wolf to win 2-1
